Q. I know a lot of people find out their due dates (and how far along they are) by typing in the first day of their last period. I did it myself, and it came out to be September 22nd and put me at 6 weeks and 6 days.
I was just wondering how accurate this method is? I know that with a lot of people it seems when they go to the doctor they find out their a few weeks more or less along.

A. It can be off either way, and is only an estimate. Because not everyone ovulates the same time of the month, it varies. Although doctors don't seem to know this and act like it's set in stone, which it's not. At this point ultrasound measurements would be more accurate in determining your due date.
My midwife was able to tell I was about six weeks along just by doing an internal exam to check the size of my uterus. I also had an early ultrasound and it measured exactly what *I* thought my dates should be, not what the doctor told me, which was four days off.

what percentage of pregnancy due dates do they get right?
Q. My friend is pregnant with first child. The kid is due on the 1st of February (well, between 31st Jan and 2nd Feb). Apparantly most first babies are up to two weeks late, but everyone in her family had their babies early, and apparantly it does tend to follow family trends.
My Birthday is the 2nd of Feb. What is the likely hood that it will be born on my birthday? How accurate is the due date? Obviously this due date must be worked out from an average, but what percentage of due dates do they actually get right?

A. My wife was due on June 4th with our daughter, but I said to her as a joke, "Why don't you have her on my birthday?" (May 31st)
Well, we laughed at the time, but she did just that!! Not only was my daughter born on my birthday, but also at the same time of day as me!!
Due dates are not always accurate.

Will I deliver late or before my due date?
Q. I am 39 weeks today and still haven't drop. This is my third pregnancy. My due date is august 6 and I am only 1 centimeter dilated. What do you think ladies?
A. With foirst pregnancies the baby generally drops a couple of weeks before delivery, although in some cases it's earlier and in others it's later.
For subsequent pregnancies the baby doesn't drop until much later, often not until labour starts. Because this is your third it is likely the case.
It doesn't matter when the baby drops though, sadly they'll still come when they come and the point at which they drop doesn't indicate whether they'll be early or on time or late.

How can I determine my pregnancy due date with irregular periods, without an ultrasound?
Q. I have PCOS and I was wondering if there was any way to calculate my due date without having an ultrasound.
A. Sorry blood tests can't measure the level of pregnancy hormone for fetus age like normal pregnancies. I have PCOS(Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) and the only way is by ultrasound for people who have PCOS. Believe me I wanted to try and find out any way I could without an ultrasound but that was the only way. The ultrasound is called an LMP (Last Missed Period) as you know with PCOS, we can't be sure when to expect our next period so we can't work out when our next will be due. The longest I went without a period was nearly 3 years. I fell pregnant naturally and I am now 31 weeks pregnant, and can't wait to see my little bundle of wrinkles. I did miscarry my first because of the PCOS, so please take it easy, and do have the ultrasound cos it will help the doctors know your precious bubs age and also it can help you. Good luck
