can you tell me how far along i am?

haha i know that sounds like a ridiculous question. but im in germany right now. and the german doctor seem to confuse me. my german friend also told me that america and germany do due dates differently.

well my husband will be in iraq when i have the baby. his unit is trying to send him home for his R&R with my due date right in the middle in hopes he'll be home for his first childs birth. before i came back to germany i was only 5 weeks 3 days along according to the american doctor said my due date was february 24th. then a few days later i was rushed to the hosptial and they said the due date was february 27th from the ultrasound. then 2 weeks later i had to follow up with my german doctor and hes saying my due date is the 6th of march. i know its only a week difference but a week is alot if i want my husband home for the birth of his son. im either 19 weeks 6 days, 18 weeks 6 days or 19 weeks exactly. should i go with the german doctor or go with the american doctors?

Update:

my last period was the 20th of may.

the due dat the german gave me means i conceived the 11th of june exaclty 7 days before my missed period?

    99% of babies do not arrive on their due date so I don't think it really matters either way. Due dates are only an estimate, the baby could come a week earlier or a week later, even up to two weeks. If you really want an exact date to use then I'd go with the date in the middle.

  • Can you tell us when your last menstrual cycle was or the date you conceived? That way it would be easier, but give or take your expected due date is never accurate.

    Your baby will be born on or around Tuesday, February 24, 2009.
