Who Is My Baby's Father?
Posted: 04-19-06 07:15am

Ok I was wondering if u could help me. I am 11 weeks and 3 days pregnant or so my ultrasound told me. My last period was 22nd jan I have been having sex with my boyfriend nearly everyday since before then and after but on the 11th of feb. I had sex with my ex boyfriend is there any chance that the baby could be his? Ive gone through it hundreds of times in my head but I cant enjoy my pregnancy until I know that it is my boyfriends baby.

Any chance? There is a *huge* chance. I'm 12 weeks and 1 day, I conceived around feb 7th. For you to be 11 weeks 3 days you would've conceived around feb 12th. I see a trip to maury for a paternity test in your future.

But doesnt it work out that I conceived on the 28th of jan. As I know how many weeks and how many days I am because thats what I worked it back to. Im really worried cos my ex boyfriend was black and my current boyfriend isnt! So its gonna be quite obvious to say the least!

Guess your in a pickle aren't you hun? I can't imagine going the whole nine months not knowing. I think if you have an amnio they can test the dna, but then you will need your b/f or ex's dna as well.

ok, this is going to be confusing but i'll try to explain it... The doctor starts counting your pregnancy at the first day of your last period, but yours seems to be going by the size of your baby on the ultrasound (if they were going by your last period you'd be 12 weeks 5 days). The first day of my last period was jan 24th, I am now 12 weeks 3 days. You don't actually conceive until about 2 weeks after that (assuming you have a normal 28-day cycle) when you're ovulating. I think they start counting at the start of your last period to make things easier and that's why they say you could give birth 2 weeks before your due date up to 2 weeks after and anywhere in that window. It's all very confusing. So in your case, based on you counting back the weeks to january 28th, I would say you conceived around february 11th. Guess you'll see who the daddy is when you give birth!

Ok so the first day of my last period was 22nd jan so that would mean I conceived around the 5th of feb if its about 2 weeks after the lmp. I know im keeping on but this is really doing my head in so is it still poss that it could be my exs? I guess there is still a chance but a slim one? Would it be poss to do a dna test before baby is born without my boyfriend knowing what the test is for? Thanks for your advice by the way.

I am not judgin you at all, don't get me wrong, but if you are going to have sex with more than one guy. WEAR A CONDOM WITH THE ONE YOU ARE CHEATING WITH>>>you don't want to have his baby nor do you want to take any funny stuff home.....
