Now I'm trying to remember how that calculation works, but it sounds like he is messed up anyway.

I think it is 40 weeks from your last ovulation, isn't it (which would be mid-month to your period cycle)? Or is it 40 weeks from your last period?

Anyway, 40 weeks does not equal 9 months, if you divide by 4, it equals closer to 10 months.

When I was ALREADY two weeks overdue on my second daughter, according to the ultrasound and the doc's calculation, I was not even due till the following week . . then he would STILL allow an additional 2 weeks of going overdue.

He said "why don't women keep track of these things?". HA!! Why don't the men keep track of it? . . . that's the only responsibility they have in managing the pregnancy (well except impreginating us)

I KNEW exactly when I was due . . . give or take 3 days . . . because my man was out of town all but one weekend in 8 weeks. But, do you think h e would listen to me??

He insisted I wasn't as far along, but when I was on the 3rd "overdue" week (according to my calculation), I demanded they induce me, even "if" I was only 40 weeks at that point. He begrudgingly agreed.

She was born with a second layer of skin (overcooked), and had already 'done her business' in the amniotic fluid. That last three weeks blew all the muscles in my belly, and he put her at considerable risk. He finally admitted that I was right all along.

Find out if they calculate 40 weeks from ovulation, or 40 weeks from your last period . . . then count that 40 weeks out on a calendar. Then back-track to how many months (Aug, Sept, Oct...) you have left, and subtract that from 9 months. That tells how many "months" along you are.
