Q. My wife has passed her due date by one week now, and after a bit of research, it seems that there's only a minuscule percentage of pregnant women that deliver on their actual due date. Yes, we're definitely anxious. However, it's odd that my wife only feels contractions at night, but never during the morning nor when she's sleeping. It seems like pregnancy due dates are a bunch of b/s...
A. Very inaccurate, and you should have never been given the impression that they were accurate. They are an estimate. The ovulation window that they are guessing from is approximately 2 weeks, so anywhere from 38-42 weeks could be correct.
It's not uncommon to feel contractions over several days while doing a certain activity only, or at a certain time only. You are getting close! Most doctors won't let you go more than 42 weeks, so she'll either have it or be induced.

Can I attend my college graduation ceremony 2 days before the expected pregnancy due date?
Q. My expected due date is on 31st May. My college graduation ceremony is on 29th May. Can I go to the ceremony 2 days before the expected due date? Even if my pregnancy is healthy, should I go? Thanks for your opinions.
A. I actually think it would be a great experience if you were able to attend your graduation! As long as there is a hosiptal within reach I think everything will turn out fine.
Congrats! :)

How accurate is a pregnancy due date caculator?
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.
