Question
hello i have a question ... ok me n my girlfriend broke up on june 7 2008 and
she had sex with her ex boyfriend.. and we got back together the next day and on
august 3  we found out she was 4 weeks pregnant... her due date is april 12
2009... she had an ultrasound on august 19 and it said she was 6 weeks and 2
days and they said that is the most accurate ultrasound... so if she got
pregnant by her ex from having sex wit him on june 7 her due date would be aroud
feb 28 and she is still pregnant today and the doc said she is 38 weeks ..shes
not dialated at all and the doc said 2 more weeks till the due date... so it
wouldnt be possible for the ex to be the babys father right? if she got pregnant
on june 7 and is still pregnant she would be 4 weeks over due right now...
please help me please tell me im the father and not him....she only had sex wit
hime that one time and only been with me ever since  

Answer
If her due date is April 12, your girlfriend did not get pregnant June 7th.

Early ultrasounds are very accurate. If she had an u/s August 19th that said she was 6 1/2 weeks pregnant, there is no way that she conceived June 7th.

Experience

Since 2004, I have taught childbirth education classes focused on helping couples gain confidence, make decisions for their birth, and give them tools for helping them get the birth they want. Since 2004, I have also attended births in local hospitals as a birth doula (as of 8/10, I have attended 120 births) so I am able to see firsthand what is working in helping couples deal with labor. I am also a mom of five children, and have various birth experiences myself, including unmedicated birth and a cesarean.
