How Is My Pregnancy Due Date Calculated?
It is impossible to pinpoint the precise moment you ovulated and became pregnant unless you have been monitoring your ovulation. Because of this, the date of your most recent menstruation is used to determine your due date.
The majority of women conceive within two weeks of the first day of their menstruation, when they ovulation. Pregnancy typically lasts 37–42 weeks on average. With this data, our calculator estimates the due date for you.
Will My Baby Definitely Be Born On My Due Date?
Regretfully, nobody can predict with absolute certainty when your baby will arrive. Actually, only roughly 4% of babies are delivered on their due date! However, your baby is most likely going to arrive a few weeks before or after your predicted due date. Having this knowledge can help you prepare for labour and delivery and ensure everything is ready for your new baby.
Will My Due Date Change When I Have A Scan?
It might. You will most likely have your first pregnancy scan when you are between weeks 10 and 14 along with your pregnancy. This procedure, called a “dating scan,” determines your baby’s size and developmental stage to provide you with a more precise due date.
