1. What is Due Date Calculation?

Due date calculation estimates when a pregnant woman is likely to give birth. For someone at 4 weeks pregnant, this calculation projects the expected delivery date based on the standard 40-week pregnancy duration.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the pregnancy due date formula:

\[ EDD = Current Date + (40 - 4) \times 7 \text{ days} \]

Where:

\( EDD \) — Estimated Due Date
\( Current Date \) — Today's date or specified date
\( 40 \) — Standard pregnancy duration in weeks
\( 4 \) — Current pregnancy week
\( 7 \) — Days per week conversion

Explanation: The calculation adds the remaining weeks of pregnancy (36 weeks) converted to days (252 days) to the current date to determine the estimated due date.

3. Importance of Due Date Estimation

Details: Accurate due date estimation helps in prenatal care planning, monitoring fetal development, preparing for delivery, and identifying potential preterm or post-term pregnancies.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the current date or use today's date as default. The calculator will automatically compute your estimated due date based on being 4 weeks pregnant.
