adding up my pregnacy

[matama]

HELLO? I started my last menstrual period on 12th may and ended on 16th may 2008. i can clearly remember when i made love with my husband ie 21st,24th and 25th same month.I had +ve pregnacy test recently and it being my first pregnacy, am abit confused on adding up my pregnacy. How old is my pregnacy and when should expect my due date?

you are 5+4 today, that is 5 weeks and 4 days from first date of last period.

This gives you a due date of 16th February 2009 approx. http://www.justparents.co.uk/pregnancy/tools/d ue-date-calculator.html

once you are registered with midwife and go for 12 weeks scan you will be given a more accurate date going by size of baby at scan. Call your GP reception and ask if you need to see GP or just fill paperwork in for a midwife

congratulations!

Hi Matama

Please dont be too reliant on short menstral periods for figuring out your due date. For the first 3 months of my current pregnancy I had 2-3 days of bleeding at that normal time of the month. Wait for the 12 week scan for confirnation of exactly how far you are into your pregnancy. Good luck, and warm congratulations.
