When will I give birth?

Hiiii…. I posted back in Jan about who may be the father. I just wanted to know IF the dad is the guy from my August 14-20th encounter VS my EX from Sept 3-7th encounter when will I give birth?? I know if it’s my EX it’ll be the end of May. So will the Aug guy be middle of May? I’m very nervous about the whole thing and just want a little peace of mind knowing I still have around 3/4 weeks instead of just 1/2 weeks. ??

May 7-14, according to an online calculator I checked. You can do the same yourself, just look up "conception calculator" online and key in the conception date you are asking about.

Thank you! So is it safe to say if I have the baby before the 28th I should do a DNA test when she is born??
What was your estimated due date again?
I seem to recall you had a period between the two guys, and that plus your ultrasound measurements made it pretty obvious who is the dad. You ask if you have the baby before a certain date you should have a DNA test -- you do know that sometimes babies arrive early and it doesn't change who their dad is, right?

That said, if you are not married to the baby's father, by all means have a DNA test done when the baby comes. NOT because there is any question about paternity, but because the child has a legal right to her father. By law, a child born to married parents is legally the child of those two people, but if you aren't married when she is born, the law does not assume he's the dad until there is proof. The way to head off a lot of problems later is to do a DNA test when she's born. Talk to your doctor about getting the swabs done at the hospital, tell your guy that it is for the purpose of legal confirmation of paternity, and go with him when he does his swab and witness it.

Yes my estimated due date is May 28th or May 27 from my anatomy scan. I guess I’m just hoping if at least I get to the 28th I know forsure it’ll be my ex since I heard it’s bad to go past 41 weeks pregnant ?? Idk just something I heard… then I wouldn’t have to do a DNA test. My partner will be very suspicious and I don’t want him thinking anything horrible about his daughter :(   Does he HAVE to have proof he is father for him to willingly sign the birth certificate or how does that work ? Sorry I’m pretty anxious about the whole situation still. I will have to talk to my doctor about it my next appt coming up.
Regarding needing a child to have a DNA test on file, no matter how much they like the idea of having a pregnant girlfriend and a baby now, a lot of guys try to skate out of their financial obligations sometime in the future. Getting a DNA test at that point can be really difficult. I'd just tell him having one is part of the legal determination of paternity as far as you're concerned, since you and he aren't married. He'll be so busy getting nervous that you're hinting you wish he would propose that he isn't going to be taking the request as an admission of guilt.
