It is bad when you don’t remember when your last menstrual period was to determine how far along you are in the pregnancy?

It is really common for a pregnant woman to not remember exactly what the first day of her last period was. Some women are super-organized and write the date down on a calendar every month, especially if they’re actively trying to get pregnant (or actively trying not to), but most of us just don’t bother. If you’re in the “don’t bother” category, you can try to guess the date by checking your calendar, receipts, or even credit-card bills to try to jog your memory. But if you really can’t figure it out, tell your care provider. He or she will schedule you for a sonogram, and the baby’s due date will be determined by fetal measurements. This is actually a more accurate method of dating a pregnancy, as women’s cycle lengths can vary considerably.
