    Pregnancy ultrasounds accurate
    Hello, I was told I was 32 weeks and 6days, I am confused because the last day of my period was July 4th. So I should be due April 10th right? That should put me at 31 weeks and 2 days right? When did I conceive

    Ultrasounds are estimates based on size, some babies are larger and some smaller.
    So the due date and esp the conception date is estimates give or take a week, even two weeks at time.

    It does not really matter, if it was a week or two different. ( unless there were more than one sex partner)

    Unless you had sex on only one day the month you conceived, there's really no way to pinpoint exactly when it happened.

    Ultrasounds aren't 100% accurate, nor is your LMP.

    Why is this concerning you? Most people that worry about this are concerned because they had overlapping partners. If this is a question of paternity, the only way to know is a DNA test once the baby is born. There's no other way to accurately determine who the father is.

    If you just want to know when you'll give birth, well, there's no way to know that. They say that 45% of women give birth within 2 weeks before their due date, 45% give birth within 2 weeks after their due date, and 10% give birth on their due date. The baby will come when it chooses.

    Good luck.
