Scans & testsDue Date
Hi, im a bit confused as to when I am due, the doctor told me that you count from the last day of your period, the first day of my last period was the 29th November and the doctor said I will be due on the 4th September, But when I work it out I think Im due on the 8th August??? Im really confused can any one help? I think Im about 6 weeks pregnant or nearly 7 weeks .Does that sound right? x
I would go to a website like the following:
http://www.babycenter.com/calculators/duedate/
This offers a due date calculator to work out when you're due. Simple to use and clear answers.
Otherwise...The standard method to calculate your official due date is to count ahead 280 days from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). A second method for calculating your due date you can probably do in your head! Just take the date (day number) of your LMP and add 7, then subtract three months. For example:
LMP: April 14
Add 7: April 21 (14+7)
Count back 3 months: January 21
Or....

I wouldn't worry too much though, your midwife should go through it with you and the date may alter slightly once you've had your scan. My dates said I was due 23 Feb, my scan said 1st March and my midwife picked a date between those!
I have just been on to the first site you gave me and this is what it said
Your baby will be born on or around Wednesday, September 5, 2007.
You are 6 weeks pregnant.
It seems the doctor was right lol xx

Hi, My doctor told me I was due in october with first baby. But when saw midwife and had scan was told im due 3rd September. If you wanna talk about how feeling etc. Please feel more than welcome. Is this your first baby? Take Care and look after yourself and baby
