hi im a bit confused about my due date, my midwife says its the 5th of april but yet i think it is the 3rd of april (only 2 day difference i know) she always agrees with me or tells me im a certain weeks pregnant like she agrees that im 35 weeks pregnant next thursday and if u work it out that means the im 40 weeks on the 3rd but then she says im due on the 5th im totally confused! (last cycle was on 28th june 07) oh yeh plus if i go on any due date calculator they always say the 3rd too its just my midwife who has to be different!

Its so funny that you posted this because I have the same issue. All internet due date calendars have my due date as July 17th which is a Thursday. My doctor agrees that I turn another week pregnant on each Thursday which makes me 40 weeks on Thursday, yet my due date according to the doctor is the 19th. So, exactly the same issue as you. It is very weird and I have never asked that doctor as I feel stupid. Hopefully, someone can solve this for us

well...actually there are two ways to calculate your due date. One is to count 40 weeks from first day of your LMP. This is the method followed by most internet sites. The other way is more traditional way....go back 3 mos from your LMP and add a week to it. Like in Kirstie's case...when you go back 3 mos from June 28th its March and when you add a week to it the due date you get is April 5th. I hope this answers your question.
