I saw the term 'date of confinement' in my pregnancy documents and I'm not sure what it means. Is it related to my due date or something else? Can someone explain this to me?
Date of confinement is just the old-school medical term for your due date (EDD). Remember, very few babies actually arrive on that exact date. Just keep your hospital bag ready by the 37th week.
I was also confused when I first heard this term. I think it means the expected delivery date. It sounds a bit formal, but it's just the day baby is expected to be born.
It's basically your due date. Knowing this date helps you plan your maternity leave and save up for the hospital delivery charges on time. Ask your hospital staff to note it down on your file.
Yaar, don't stress too much about the heavy name! It's actually just your expected due date or EDD. It's just a rough estimate of when baby might arrive, so relax.
Haan na, starting me even I thought what is this confinement thing! It's just delivery date, ho na. Don't worry, your gynac will calculate it based on your last period.
Oh, I tracked this on my pregnancy app! It's often written as EDD or Expected Date of Confinement (EDC). You can easily calculate it using your last period date on any basic tracker app.
