Question
With a due date of Oct 31 2009 what is the most likely date of conception and how many weeks would that be as of now thanks
Hi Adam,
A person with a due date of October 31 would be 24 weeks and 2 days pregnant right now. (7/13)
It is impossible to get the exact date of conception - and without more information (concerning the pregnant mom's last period, length of periods, are they regular, information from any 1st trimester ultrasounds or other tests,etc.)I can only give an approximate range - somewhere during the first 10 days of February.

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.
