1. What Is The Due Date Pregnancy Calculator?

The Due Date Pregnancy Calculator estimates your expected delivery date and current pregnancy week based on your last menstrual period. It provides week-by-week tracking with developmental information and images.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses standard pregnancy calculation formulas:

\[ EDD = LMP + 280 \text{ days} \] \[ Week = \lfloor (\text{Current Date} - LMP) \div 7 \rfloor \]

Where:

\( EDD \) — Estimated Due Date
\( LMP \) — Last Menstrual Period
\( Week \) — Current Pregnancy Week
\( Current Date \) — Today's Date

Explanation: Pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period, with a standard gestation period of 280 days (40 weeks).

3. Importance Of Pregnancy Week Tracking

Details: Tracking pregnancy weeks helps monitor fetal development, schedule prenatal appointments, prepare for delivery, and understand what developmental milestones to expect each week.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter the first day of your last menstrual period and the current date. The calculator will determine your estimated due date and current pregnancy week for week-by-week tracking.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How accurate is the estimated due date?
A: The EDD is an estimate - only about 5% of babies are born exactly on their due date. Most births occur within two weeks before or after the estimated date.

Q2: What if I don't know my LMP?
A: If you're unsure of your LMP, an ultrasound in early pregnancy can provide a more accurate due date estimation based on fetal measurements.

Q3: Why is pregnancy calculated from LMP instead of conception?
A: LMP is used because it's typically easier to recall than the exact conception date, and it provides a standardized method for healthcare providers.

Q4: How does week-by-week tracking help?
A: Weekly tracking helps you understand fetal development, prepare for physical changes, and know what to discuss with your healthcare provider at each stage.

Q5: Can the due date change during pregnancy?
A: Yes, healthcare providers may adjust your due date based on ultrasound measurements, especially if there's a significant difference from the LMP-based calculation.
