How to calculate expected delivery date of pregnancy?
My last period was around mid feb but im not fully sure of the exact date. Gynac told me a due date but i want to understand kaise calculate karte hai myself. Anyone knows the simple way?
For those of us who go through IVF, the EDD calculation is a bit different, based on the embryo transfer date, not LMP. But for natural conception, usually, it's 40 weeks from your last menstrual period. Your doctor will confirm this with early scans, which are really helpful for accuracy.
The most common way is to add 9 months and 7 days to the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). Or, your doctor will give you a more accurate date based on your first ultrasound scan. Just mark it on your calendar, but remember babies rarely arrive exactly on time!
When I was pregnant, my doctor calculated it based on my last period and then confirmed it with an early ultrasound scan. I just went with what the doctor told me and trusted their calculations. It's best to let your healthcare provider handle this.
Well, knowing your EDD helps a lot with planning – booking your hospital, saving up for expenses, and getting all the baby things ready. Mostly, it's 40 weeks from your last period. Your first ultrasound will confirm it, which is important for future tests and tracking baby's growth accurately.
Haha, calculation! Right now I can barely calculate how many hours of sleep I got last night. But for EDD, usually it's by your last period date. My gynac did an ultrasound early on, and that was the most accurate way. Don't stress too much, baby will come when baby wants to come! 😴
