How is she 5 weeks Pregnant?

Question

My wife is pregnant; the baby is due on May 5 of next year she says the baby was conceived on Aug, 12 that was the last time we made love. But her doctor said she is 5 weeks pregnant. It’s only been 2 weeks since we made love how is this? I know nothing about this topic.

Answer 1

In your wife's defense, the doctor could be wrong. I know this because when I was pregnant, my doctor gave me a due date of May 31. I told him that my guess would be closer to the middle of June, but he insisted on May 31. Guess what. My daughter was born on June 15.  

Answer 2

well you she could have gotten pregnant, missed a period and not told you because she didnt think of it as a big deal, or maybe she would have gotten her period a week or so before the doctor, and figured she missed it so you should check it out.  making love doesnt seem any different when your pregnant, so theres not much way you can tell without a doctor or pregnancy test

Answer 3

The calculation should be from the first day of her last period,Count 38- to 40 weeks ahead to calculate an estimate.  

Answer 4

Did you make love 5 weeks ago? She really has no way of knowing if it was the last time you did it that she got pregnant, she could have been 3 weeks pregnant when you last had s*x. Usually the doctor goes by the first day of your last period and then counts to the number of days that the average woman is fertile during her cycle and that is the most likely time she conceived. When she has an ultrasound that will give you a much more precise gestational date.  

Answer 5

I could see if the difference was one week off but you are saying a 3 week difference.  

talk to your wife

Answer 6

The doctors dont count when you had s*x they count from when she had her last period.  

Answer 7

well yeah that was the last time you had s*x but when was the last time before that. if it was within 3 weeks before that then there is your answer.

if it was alot longer before that then you would know that the doctor is wrong. which ooes happen cuz they can't tell which time your baby was concieved but they can guestimate when. usually they aren't exactly right to the date but  with in a couple weeks is just fine for them. so unless you can show that it could only have been that time that she could have gotten pregnant no one really knows exactly what date it occured.

like i said they are just making an educated guess. it usually not right on.

just like they are guessing the date the baby will be born. obviously they have no way of knowing the exact day that the baby will come and the due date will most likely change thoughtut the pregnancy.

Answer 8

i just found out today that i am pregnant, i ovulated on the 17th, we had s*x on the 16th and 17th, and the internet is telling me i am 3 weeks pregnant, going on week 4! and my due date would be May 10. They do their calculating different! i know when i concieved, and i know your wife does too!!
