Where:
Explanation: The calculation adds the remaining pregnancy days to your current date to estimate when your baby is likely to arrive.
Details: Knowing your estimated due date helps with pregnancy planning, prenatal care scheduling, and monitoring fetal development milestones.
Tips: Enter the current date (or date when you were 9 weeks pregnant) to calculate your estimated due date. For best accuracy, use the date confirmed by your healthcare provider.
Q1: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This provides a general estimate. Only about 5% of women deliver on their exact due date. Most deliver within 2 weeks before or after.
Q2: What if my cycles are irregular?
A: The calculation assumes a standard 28-day cycle. If your cycles are irregular, an early ultrasound provides more accurate dating.
Q3: Why 280 days for pregnancy?
A: Pregnancy is traditionally calculated as 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP).
Q4: Can the due date change?
A: Yes, healthcare providers may adjust your due date based on ultrasound measurements, especially if they differ significantly from LMP dating.
Q5: What if I don't know exactly when I was 9 weeks?
A: Use the date of your first ultrasound or consult your healthcare provider for the most accurate dating.
