    if you r due in jan and did'nt have a period for may it sounds like you concieved in april right before your period or either right after. doc's do go by your last period.give or take 10 days. that is why they say pregnancy is 40-42wks. if u go til feb 8 that would put you at 40- 42 wks.

    Source(s): went 40wks and 4days b4 giving birth.

    Yes, the babys due date is calculated from the first day of your last period. This is just how it is done. In real time you wouldn't really have gotten pregnant until 2 weeks after the first day of your last period, as this is when you ovulate, so that is how you have worked it out, but all health care professionals work it out the first way, from the first day of your last period. Anyway, babies are considered full term from 37 weeks pregnant to 42 weeks pregnant, so don't cancel everything in expectation of the 28th! Good luck and enjoy your baby

    You go by when your last period was. So the January 28th due date is correct.
