How to check delivery date of pregnancy?

Question

I just got my first ultrasound report and it mentions a due date, but I'm curious if there's any other way to estimate or confirm the delivery date of my baby. My LMP was a bit irregular.

Shanti Chauhan · Answer

Yes, standard way is adding 280 days to your last period's first day.

Last period ka first day se check karte hain, ho na? But actually dating scan wala date sabse accurate hota hai.

Suvarna Naik · Answer

I was looking this up too, is the due date from the scan always different from the period date? Let me know how you guys calculated yours.

Kanta Raghavan · Answer

My app says one date, my doctor says another, and my swollen feet say 'any day now', haha! Usually they count 40 weeks from your last period start date.

Bimla Majmudar · Answer

They calculate it from the first day of your last period, but honestly, babies have their own schedule. My twins came weeks before my official due date anyway, so keep your hospital bag ready early!

You can use an online due date calculator using your LMP, but the dating ultrasound done in the first trimester gives the most scientifically accurate date. Trust your gynac's estimation.

Actually, there are so many apps for this yaar, just put your LMP date there. But final date toh gynac scan reports dekh kar hi batayegi.
