Just got my positive test and everyone is asking when is the due date. My periods were a bit irregular so im not sure how to count properly. How did u all figure out urs?
The doctor will give you the EDD based on your last period and scans, which helps you plan your fitness routine. I used my due date to schedule my gentle prenatal yoga and daily walks, of course after my gynac allowed it.
Hey, don't stress too much about the exact date because babies have their own timing anyway! Just use a basic online tracker with your last period date to get a rough idea and let your doc confirm it.
Listen, don't get confused by online calculators. Just count 280 days from your last period's start date, or let your first ultrasound scan determine it since that's the most accurate.
I am in my second trimester now and my scan due date is slightly different from my period calculation, which is making me a bit nervous. Did anyone else have two different due dates?
For those of us who went through IVF, the due date is calculated very precisely based on the embryo transfer date. Your clinical team will guide you through this gently, so take it easy.
I know how overwhelming it is to figure out all these dates when you are already feeling anxious. The easiest way is to count 40 weeks from the first day of your last period, but don't worry, your doctor will calculate the exact date during your scan.
Your doctor will give you an estimated date, but remember babies hardly arrive on the exact day. I had a planned C-section near my due date, so just keep your hospital bag ready a bit early.
