My midwife told me my due date is 40 weeks from the first day of my last period. That was 13th March, so my due date is today, 18th December. Which also means that my due date is exactly nine months from the last day of my period, 18th March. My beef is A) I certainly wasn't having sex on the last day of my period, yuk, B) Would there have even been an egg to conceive with, cos surely the last egg is still being disposed of at that point, and C) They say you're not fertile till after your period when the next egg is getting going, so by my reckoning, when we started trying again after my period, that would make my baby due any time between the 20th and the end of the month??? Going by the nine month timescale.
Somebody help me, my brain hurts (as does the rest of my bloody body by now).

Does anyone else think predicted due dates are completely wrong?
