Just found out im pregnant and everyone is asking my due date but i have no idea how they figure it out. Do they count from last period or from the scan? Im confused which date to even tell people. someone explain pls.
I remember being obsessed with my EDD date! But looking back, my toddler arrived 10 days late. Just enjoy this phase, the exact date doesn't matter much.
Actually yaar, there are so many online calculators for this. Just put your LMP date there, but your gynac will give the final date after the first ultrasound anyway.
You can calculate it using your last period date, but if you have irregular periods or complications, only rely on the ultrasound date given by your doctor.
The standard way is LMP + 9 months + 7 days. However, if your cycles are irregular, the doctor will adjust the EDD based on your crown-rump length during the first ultrasound.
You can use your last period date to calculate, but doctors usually confirm the exact date during the dating scan. Keep your diet healthy and don't worry too much about the dates.
Calculate it by adding 9 months and 7 days to the first day of your last period. But honestly, babies come whenever they want, my boy came 2 weeks early and threw all calculations out of the window!
My doctor explained that the EDD is calculated from the first day of your LMP using Naegele's rule. But the early dating scan (around 8-12 weeks) is considered much more accurate.
