1. What Is The 6 Weeks Pregnant Due Date Calculator?

The 6 Weeks Pregnant Due Date Calculator estimates your expected delivery date (EDD) based on your current pregnancy week. This calculation helps you plan for your baby's arrival and track your pregnancy progress.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard pregnancy duration formula:

\[ EDD = Current Date + (40 - 6) \times 7 \text{ days} \]

Where:

\( EDD \) — Estimated Due Date
\( Current Date \) — Today's date or specified date
\( 40 \) — Total weeks in full-term pregnancy
\( 6 \) — Current pregnancy week
\( 7 \) — Days per week

Explanation: The calculation adds the remaining weeks of pregnancy (34 weeks) converted to days (238 days) to your current date.

Details: Knowing your estimated due date is crucial for prenatal care planning, monitoring fetal development milestones, and preparing for delivery. It helps healthcare providers schedule important tests and screenings at appropriate times during your pregnancy.
