1. What is the Australian Exact Pregnancy Calculator?

The Australian Exact Pregnancy Calculator determines your precise conception date based on your estimated due date (EDD) using the standard Australian medical calculation of subtracting 266 days from your EDD.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Australian medical formula:

Where:

• \( \text{EDD} \) — Estimated Due Date (from your healthcare provider)
• \( 266 \text{ days} \) — Standard gestation period used in Australian medical practice

Explanation: This calculation is based on the average human gestation period of 38 weeks (266 days) from conception to delivery, which is the standard used by Australian healthcare professionals.

3. Importance of Exact Conception Date

Details: Knowing your exact conception date is important for accurate pregnancy dating, understanding fetal development milestones, and proper prenatal care scheduling according to Australian healthcare standards.
