If you have no idea when the first day of your last period was, then you will probably have to wait for a dating scan to find out officially. All the gp will do is refer you to the MW for a booking appointment. You'll be able to discuss your dates with the MW. Oh and congratulations!!

Hi babybeautiful, congratulations

Unless you have at least some idea of when your last period was, your GP will not be able to tell you when you are due.

How many weeks roughly since you last had a period - can you picture what was going on at the time?

If your last period started roughly the 10th March you would be due around 15th December according to the mumsnet due date predictor

The pg test that tell you how far you are tell you from the date of conception, where as your due date is from the date of the first day of your last period (before you are even pg!). So you are always about 2 weeks more pregnant than you think you should be!
