CSA Debt for child that may not be his.

kegg_2

The average pregnancy is about 266 days post- conception (38 weeks) or 280 days (40 weeks) after the first day of the last period. Most women give birth within 2 weeks either side of the expected date.

So from the dates given your brothers ex had a pregnancy that is well within the normal range. He admits he had sex with her at a time she would be most fertile (2 weeks prior to this she would have not been fertile or very unlikely to be)

Sounds to me that your brother should stop with the denial and accept the evidence that he has a child and start paying for and building a relationship this his child.

The dates aren't too far out. If her period started on 1 April 96 then she would have been at her most fertile around 14 April when the couple slept together. Gestation is 38 weeks but doctors count 40 weeks from the start of the last period. I count as 38.5 weeks from 1 April to 23 Dec. There are probably some midwives on MSE who would know better but 10 days doesn't seem a lot to worry about. Babies aren't machines and, although 40 weeks is the average, there are plenty of babies born two weeks either way of their due date. I know my children weren't born at exactly 40 weeks.

If I were a woman who knew I had slept with no-one but my husband, I would be angry that he was denying paternity of my child. Maybe that's why she's has reacted the way she did.

Easier said than done and my brother has never denied not being responsible. Any man who has a doubt that a child may not be his is one of the worst kinds of pain and only a man would know what that feels like.

I am not taking sides but just want this to end.

If he has any contact with the child, he should do his own dna test. If he takes the sample, he will be sure in his mind that there hasn't been anything underhand going on.

I understand peoples reactions that my brother should take responsibility and I agree too but............she was having morning sickness the day she came on 2 Apr 96 up until the 13 Apr 96 when my brother took her to see the doctor as she was suffering nausea and dizziness. She had the early signs of pregnancy the day she arrived to the U.K.

On the 22 July 96 her G.P wrote this letter to the Midwife;

Dated: 22.7.96

Thank you for seeing this lady with an LMP of 13.4.96. It is her first pregnancy and she is feeling nauseated and dizzy.

On examination at 13 weeks I thought she was somewhat large for dates. I have arranged for her to have a scan and put her on folic acid.

Thanks M, but he does not have contact with the child and this will be impossible. Maybe he needs to get some legal advice if he is able to get another test done.

For her to have switched the test to show him as the father when he wasn't she would have had to used another child that is his.

Does he have another child with her that is his?

The bit about her having a period that was just her words that she was. There is a possibility that she was not as the doctor advised my brother that she conceived in March and that is how she calculated the baby to be born on the 23 Dec 96.

No she was feeling sick and dizzy this could well have been a result of jet lag or even just a virus and completly unrelated to the pregnancy.
Ignore the date as it is a red herring as the dating can be wrong within 2 weeks either way and still in the doctors view correct.

My second child was born 3 weeks late and my due date was "correct" as he was conceived via fertility treatment but still my dates were only just outside the normal expected range.
