EDD (Estimated Date of Delivery) is the approximate date when a pregnant woman is expected to give birth.

EDD is commonly calculated using Naegele’s Rule from the first day of the Last Menstrual Period (LMP):

EDD = LMP + 7 days − 3 months + 1 year

A normal pregnancy lasts approximately 40 weeks or 280 days from the first day of LMP. Knowing the EDD helps healthcare professionals plan antenatal visits, investigations, fetal monitoring, and delivery care. Remember, EDD is an estimate, and first-trimester ultrasound can provide more accurate dating when the LMP is uncertain.

NCLEX Pearl: The appendix contributes to immunity and gut health, not blood circulation, insulin production, or urine filtration.

Correct Answer: B — Digestion and Immunity
