Question
This probably sounds horrible but I was seeing someone, I had sex with him Oct.2, 2009 then went to visit my ex and had sex Oct.9, 2009. I have irregular periods so they estimated conception around the 5th with a delivery date of June 28th. I had a hard pregnancy so they induced a little early June 22nd and born the 23rd. Which do you think is the more probable father.
If they used a first trimester ultrasound to estimate conception, then it is more probable that you conceived October 2.
Although not likely, it is still possible that your ex is the father, and you may want to have a paternity test done to determine for sure who is the father.

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.
