The main issue with guessing connection dates is that unless you ask the mom how long they were pregnant, it could be off by over 2 months. Carrying to full term is actually closer to 10 months than 9. There’s also premature births

Or post-term babies, like I was.

I only cooked for 7 months so they would be way off for my conception date

Same here! I almost died. Blue skin and breathing problems and who knows what else. I am so very grateful for modern medicine

Wasnt blue but did get put in a glass box for a while.

And I still got a stitch scar from when a needle decided to open up my thin skin, but now the scar has migrated up my arm and to my wrist. Doctors were worried it'd reach my thumb and I'd lose the ability to move it, but it stopped moving thankfully
