Girl when you go to the doctor the next time they should be able to tall you depending on how far along you are. And if the baby will open his or her legs! To find out when you are due they ususally put a ruler kinda tape measurer on your belly, the circumference of your belly is an indicator, aling with the firmness.

Most bigger hospital when you set up your first pre-natal visit do an ultersound. They'll measure you and be able to tell you a due date pretty close and as things go along in your pregnancy they'll better assess that date. You can't really find out the gender of your baby until 20 weeks.

you obviously havent gone to a doctor...that is what you need to do. not only to find out your due date and what your having but to make sure your baby is healthy. if you need insurance you should try to apply for pregnancy medicaid it will cover you until 6 weeks after your delivery and your baby for a year. good luck

Count back to the last day of your period and see how many weeks ago that was. That is how far the doctor will say you are gone and then count 40 weeks from that day to find out when your due. You never know what your going to have until your 20 week scan.

You shouldn't be asking this here, that means you haven't been to a midwife or doctor because they would have scheduled that already. Go to your physician and have an ultrasound. They will tell you both things at once.

i have a card that tells me the probable due date. so if u can tell me the 1st day of ur last period, i can tell u the date! i got the card from the doctors office and they used it to figure out my due date so it should be very close to the day.

How long has it been since your last period!??! You should go to the doctor!! Your due date will be close to 41 weeks after your last period's starting date, but an u/s will help pin point that, and the gender of your baby..but you'll have to be about 16-20 weeks for that. My daughter was spread eagle so we got to see early at about 17. Good luck hun.

Do you not know about how important prenatal care is? That's the best way to find out, via DOCTOR.

at 1st dr. visit they should tell you how far along you are and when you are due and around 20 something weeks they will tell you what you are having.

Quoting Maria:

Take your last period count back 4 months add 7 days add one year.
This is what mine was Last period Feb 25 08 - 4 months = Nov 25 07 + 7 days = Dec 1 07 add one year = Dec 1 08 was my due date but had my baby 2 weeks early because of high blood pressure.


omg that i the weirdest thing i have ever heard of i am going to try this 2morrow with a gf and let u know.

another way to find out when you are due is to remember the first day of your last period and if you go on this website you can type that in and it will be you aproximate due date

They way that a dr determines your due date is to take the date of your last period and add 7 days then count 40 weeks...that is approx. your due date. If you aren't far enough along yet or are waiting for your Dr. appt then once you go to it they will use that method unless you have a Dr. that does an ultrasound at the first appt. Many dr's now do one to get a more accurate picture of your due date; make sure the baby is there and has a heart beat (since the external hearing thingy that they use to hear the heart beat doesn't really work until your 13 or 14th week) and to make sure if there is more than one baby.



The ultrasound won't work to determine the baby's sex until the 18th or 19th week and even then it can be hard to tell what sex the baby is. Most dr's won't order a 2nd ultrasound after this one unless you request it but then again many insurances won't cover a 2nd ultrasound; so you might have to pay for one out of pocket.

:) To find out what your having, have an ultra-sound and say your curious, they may not tell you cuz its illegal in some places incase they get it wrong and you sue them ..

After you go to your dr. and get an ultrasound they should let you know your due date. That is also how you will find out what gender the baby is.
