Why do doctors ask for last menstrual period to determine due dates?

This first week is actually your menstrual period. Because your expected delivery date (EDD) is calculated from the first day of your last period, this week counts as part of your 40-week pregnancy even though your baby hasn't been conceived yet.

How accuracy is due date?

Due dates have become much more accurate over the past few years; however, it is still common for the baby to be a few days or even a week early or late. Keeping stress levels down and staying off your feet during the last few weeks of pregnancy will help your baby arrive right on time.

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and measuring 40 can my due date be that far off?

If you have a due date of october 16 2007 Would it be safe to rule out a father you had sex with on the 6th of January?

You could probably consider him as the father of your child because women are more prone to become pregnant right after their period, so there is a possibility. However, a DNA test should be done. In general, ovulation - the release of an egg to be fertilised - occurs halfway through the cycle (about 14 days after your last period). This would be January 22nd in theory.

Sperm can hang around in the female reproductive system for a couple of days after entering the vagina in sexual intercourse. This means that sperm from sex on the 20th could well fertilise an egg from the 22nd and make you pregnant, especially if your egg was early that time. However, if your egg was late, say on the 24th, then it is less likely that the man you had sex with on the 20th is the father, but as you don't know when the ovulation happened, this is only a guide!

Think who else you had sex with around that time. Did you have sex on the 21st, 22nd or 23rd with a different man? It could have more likely been him that is the father. A DNA test would help!

Apart from guessing or having a DNA test there is no real other way of knowing. Make sure you are sure before making any decisions.
