π©Ίπ€° Estimating Your Due Date: What Every Mom-to-Be Should Know
One of the first questions after a positive pregnancy test is, βWhen is my baby due?β π
Your Estimated Due Date (EDD) is calculated based on the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) or confirmed through an early pregnancy ultrasound, which provides the most accurate dating.
π
Did you know?
β’ A full-term pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period.
β’ Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date.
β’ Most babies arrive between 37 and 42 weeks, which is considered normal.
