Question
How do I calculate the expected due date?
Answer
Hello, the expected due date is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. If the last menstrual period was between January and March, add 9 to the month; if it was in April or later, subtract 3 from the month. Add 7 days to the date. This calculation is based on the Gregorian calendar. The expected due date helps you estimate the range of time when the baby might be born, but please do not consider it an exact date. By the 37th week of pregnancy, you should be ready at any time for childbirth. It is recommended that you choose a good obstetric and gynecological hospital, regularly undergo medical check-ups, and follow your doctor’s advice. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy!
