No it doesn’t. People ovulate early or late, people get pregnant right off of BC or a miscarriage, I’ve had my due date moved a few times after an early ultrasound.
Do you think anyone actually cares anyway when you got your period 4+ months ago??

I only discuss pregnancy related things with a handful of people. I am generally terrified the entire time that something will go wrong (I have two rainbow babies plus other losses as well) I don’t share my due date with anyone except my husband. I give my mother in law, mother, and sisters a close estimate, and everyone else gets a general estimate.

When I was pregnant with my first, we shared the EDD with my parents and DHs parents. One of them called every single day starting 2 weeks prior to my due date to check if I'm still around. And baby was born late! Never again. I just give a general time frame.
With my most recent baby, I was so excited to finally be pregnant (fertility treatments and she's a rainbow baby) I forgot to ask about the due date until I was 10 weeks along! I knew the approximate date just by doing my own calculations but didn't ask the Dr.

I just asked someone when she's due.
She looked uncomfortable and said, "between Purim and pesach."
That's a one month range

I don't share my due date and I resent when people ask. Why does anyone have to know the exact date?

I get the reasons why you don't say, BUT if someone casually asks and not in an interrogational way. There is no need to be rude and snarky like the lady who OP asked.
