I found out a couple of days ago that I was quite pregnant (more than 3 weeks on digital test). Last period was 7-9th March but due to illness on holiday, 14 hour flights and jetlag etc, the earliest possible conception date was 18th March.
My GP has just given me a due date of 11th December which makes me 8 weeks pregnant when I am only 6 and a half weeks (from known earliest conception date). This makes my real due date 10 days closer to Christmas - something we really needed to know!
Why the deliberately innacurate calculation???
(This is my first at 41, so he has no previous gestation data to go on)
