accuracy
how much does the time a baby is born is determined by the month in which you conceived?how much can you rely on the midwife for estimating the due date rahther than a scan?can you explain more about the 28 days cycle and adding weeks to estimate the due date. thank you
angie, it’s a bit difficult for me to figure out exactly what it is that you want to know, but i’ll try to answer.<br>as a rule of thumb you can take the first day of your last menstruation, add 7 days and subtract 3 months to get an estimate of your due date (nägele’s rule). this is more or less the same as taking the first day of your last menstruation and adding 40 weeks. if you have a 28 day cycle it means that you should have conceived more or less 14 days after the first day of your last menstruation. a normal baby will be delivered ate the age of 38 weeks after conception, so week add to weeks to get to the first day of your last menstruation (the date from which all estimates are made). <br>at the end of the day you have to remember that they’re just estimates. only about 10% of patients deliver on the actual date, but 50% will deliver within one week and 74-88% will deliver within 2 weeks of this estimated date. hope this answers your question. good luck. <br>
bonnie, it is very common to revise the due date based on ultrasound evidence, because it is much more accurate than the first day of your last period. why they didn't mention it earlier, i can't say, but remember that guessing a due date is an inexact science. only 5% of babies are actually born on their due date. hope this helps! see more... hi dear! its wonderful to knw that you have started planning fr a baby, as u hv mentioned ur periods r regular yes its important to hv regular cycle but apart from that thr r a few things which needs to considered like your health- its not only the woman health but the mans health too is important for a healthy baby , you need to ensure it by sticking to a good diet, maintaining a healthy diet. there are few food which boosts fertility like milk, cheese, yogurt, fatty fish, whole grains, eggs and loads of water and cut down on coffee, alcohol, processes food. secondly intercourse- it plays major role in planning a baby, you need to get intimate on the most fertile days of yours which is at your ovulation time, which is generally 11-16 days after your first day of your last period. keep yourself happy-healthy and without stress , enjoy a healthy conjugal life to welcome a healthy baby. all the best! if you want to avoid false negatives, or &ldquo;false positives&rdquo; (very early miscarriages), the best time to take a pregnancy test is after your period&rsquo;s late. if your cycles are irregular or you don&rsquo;t chart your cycles, i wouldn&rsquo;t take a test until you&rsquo;ve past the longest menstrual cycle you usually have. for example, if your cycles range from 30 to 36 days, the best time to take a test would be day 37 or later. you will discover a lot of tips on how to get pregnant fast, how to improve fertility, how to determine when you are ovulating, and three ways to improve your partner&rsquo;s sperm count and what to do about irregular periods, and so much more on http://pregnancyhours.com hi dear, there is nothing like that.baby is healthy if it's parameter and weight is according to its gestational age.there are lot of other factors that can be assessed through scans ,if baby is doing fine and healthy. Hi.



Menstruation occurs when an egg is not fertilized by a sperm cell, so that the egg sheds and menstruation occurs. The length of menstruation itself varies from 3-7 days. From the situation you are experiencing, the blood comes out a little black and a little maybe it can be due to the rest of your menstrual blood. Sometimes menstrual periods can last longer (can last up to 10 days) and the color of menstrual blood will tend to be darker / blackish. However, this usually does not last long and does not cause other complaints, and does not require any special therapy.



If you have only had your period 1 week ago, then the possibility of pregnancy at this time is very small. Because for the occurrence of pregnancy, it is necessary to mature eggs first, while the fertile period for women only occurs about 10-14 days from the first day of the last menstruation.



But besides that, the condition you are experiencing can also be caused by other causes such as:



sexually transmitted infections, bacterial vaginosis, pelvic inflammation, uterine myoma, cervical cancer, therefore, if your condition continues to occur, then you should check with an obstetrician, so that the doctor can check your condition further. Maybe later additional examinations such as ultrasound or pap smear will be done if necessary.
