Hi, I’m just after a little bit of advice for peace of mind. I’ve been with my long term partner nearly 9 years and we briefly split in Nov 2011. In this time I slept with another man without contraception (stupid i know!) It was roughly the 5th Nov 2011, after getting back with my partner I found out I was pregnant early Jan 2012. I considered a termination due to the circumstances and loss of contraception with the other guy but once scanned at the abortion clinic was told I was 7 weeks and 2 days this was the 9th Feb 2012 meaning it cant of been the other guys. I went through the pregnancy not giving it a second thought and happily gave birth to a boy on the 23rd Sept 2012. The doubts are now creeping in because the baby doesnt resemble my partner and I’m driving myself insane going over and over the dates. I’d just like to know if there’s a chance it may have been the other guys, what i’ve worked out is if I concieved with the other guy around the 5th Nov 2011 then my due date would have been end of July 2012 but i didnt give birth until end of Sept 2012 surely I couldnt have been 8 weeks overdue? This and the dates given at the abortion clinic and the fact I had a period a couple of weeks after sleeping with the other guy must mean the baby is my partners right??
Hi Justine,
If you had a "normal" period after you slept with "another man" then it is UNLIKELY that you were pregnant then.
Babies don't always look like either parent. Remember, your DNA and his DNA created this UNIQUE individual.
A DNA test would be the only way to confirm, positively, who the father is but from your post it sounds as though it IS your partners child.
Hope it helps.
