Question
My ex wife and got back together for a brief time after we were divorced. She came up pregnant. the last time I was with her was November 8th 2008, she says the due date is august 28th, 2009 and that the kid is mine. Is there any way possible.

Answer
With a due date of August 28, she is most likely to have conceived early December, not early November.  If she conceived on Nov 8, her due date would be around August 1, not August 28.

If she is still insisting that you are the father, a paternity test after the baby is born will clear things up one way or the other.

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.
