About Kristy Expertise I am a midwife, and have been for the past 10 years. I can answer most questions starting from pregnancy symtoms, right up to labour and delivery. I am able to recognize pregnancy related issues, from mild, to serious if given the symptoms. I am also keen on other health issues dealing with the female reproductive system, that may or may not be pregnancy related, and can give advice in that area as well. I am also a mother of two small children and will share my experiences with one text book pregnancy and delivery, as well as a very difficult pregnancy and delivery I experienced. Not only am I educated in this area, I have personally experienced the joys, and obstacles of this area as well.
Experience In my early years, I practiced in the labour and delivery ward of my local hospital. I was an R.N.A.
I later returned to Univeristy, and studied to become a midwife.
Education/Credentials 2 year nursing course, at the University of Toronto.
2 year course in Midwivery, at the University of Toronto.
Question I did not have a period for over a year and then i got a period and that was in july around the 14th and they gave me a due date of April 16th..
Answer Hi Amber,
I did my calculation based on a 28 day normal cycle. However, your cycle is obviously irregular, so keep in mind this could be off by a day or 2, but it does give you a general idea.
You were likely to be most fertile from Tuesday, July 25, 2006 to Sunday, July 30, 2006. If you were to get pregnant during that time, your due date would be Friday, April 20, 2007.
So, as you can see my due date is 4 days off by yours, which indicates that you could have ovulated a little earlier. However, my dates are pretty close to your due date, but it does give a good idea, when you fell pregnant.
Also, know that you said your period was "around" the 14th of July. If you started your period 2 -3 days earlier, that will also bring back my date, to about the 17th of April :)
Hope this answers your question, and thanks for writing! Happy Holidays!
