Pregnancy, serious question :

[Jessica]

Can doctors get it wrong, dates wise ?

I mean, is it possible to be pregnant almost 10 months ?

It's a very serious and important question.

[Captain P?l]

its seldom its over due... but it happends..

saw some TV show about it.... +/- 2 weeks are normal... but months? i dont know...

[Jessica]

So two weeks more is possible ? like a 9 and a half months ?

But then, is it possible doctors date it wrong ?

[GeorgeSteele]

I've seen the opposite happen... my nephew was born a month and a half early but weighed 8.5 pounds (or 3.86 kilos  ).  So his mother thinks that for him to have been that heavy, the doctor must have screwed up the due date.

[Queen of Everything]

Yeha -- this is possible.

My friend was pregnant almost 10.5 months!! ?The doctors suspected they had made a slight misteak... but she was admitted to hospital and the baby brought on.

Dont fret -- dating can never be perfect (says mum from the other side of the office)

[wink]

The doctor doesn?t give wrong dates, the girl gives the ?missed? (who? really knows the exact date), then the doctor minuses 12 weeks to get the due date (girl says missed date was mar 15, so doctor says dec 22 due date)
Back to the 10 months thing
40 weeks is usual gestation, If people think that there is only 4 weeks in a month, you can say pg for 10 months. (but most months have 4.5 weeks, so you get 9 months pg)

Did that help?

[Jessica]

yes, you all help, although ...well..nothing.

Thanks for your helps.

I am pretty sure i was pregnant longer than expected now.

I was a late baby by 2 weeks.   Random, but yes they can get the dates wrong

Google is your friend.

they go by your last period....if you are wrong they will be too

[estranged.1098]

I don't think wrong is the right word. They have the tools to make a very well educated guess, unless it's a Cesarian, where they'll schedule the day and time of birth.

[supaplex]

doctors could get the dates wrong. my brother was born 1 month late although my mother went to the doctor 9 months pregnant but he said that she's not due to give birth then. so when she went a month later he realised he made a mistake.
staying in mother's belly for too long is not recommended as far as i know but my brother is ok so it's probably not true

[Jessica]

Now i know why the end of my pregnancy was so difficult towards the end, i couldn't breathe anymore and at " 7 and a half" months, i had contractions and i had to stay at the hospital overnight, they stopped the contractions thinking it was too early ?

But in fact, it could have been an 8months,  meaning i really hurt myself going to 9 months and 1 day, because it was probably more and i understand now why it's taken so long to heal.

Ive read stories about 10 months, like undeveloped lungs, instead of inducing they wait which makes it last longer

Anyone need help getting prego, just asking is all

yes, i came out after 11 months seriously. My nephew was born after 3 weeks. But if it's too too long see a doctor. I have read some sad stories but i wont tell you them so you dont get insecure.

That's not true if you had a sonogram.

My oldest was born 1 month before his due date, but everything was fine and we even went home 24 hrs after he was born.

So your nephew was born in 11 months and 3 weeks?

[Jessica]

Wasn't it Neron's mother who had him in her for over 10 months ?

well 40 weeks is the full term

That's not true if you had a sonogram.

depends on your doctor, some prefer to track it as close to conception as possible and go that way others prefer sonogram measurments...anyway a sonogram (I'm assuming its the same as an ultrasound) is also only approximate, they measure averages to approximate age.

anyway jessica the baby comes when he/she is ready don't matter how many tests you get....some births are more difficult than others is all, I know some people who were in labour for 30 hours others for like 20 minutes...sorry your still hurtin, that sucks

to everybodya sayin their borthers and sisters were like a month late and stuff....nowadays the science is much more precise....very rare to be that far off from what I've seen....I was a month "late" btw...my mom was like "get it the fuck out "
