Due date
The following chart will help you to estimate when your baby will
be due. Pick out the date of your last period from the figures in
light type. Your due date is immediately underneath in bold. These
dates are all calculated assuming that you have a standard 28 day
cycle and the number of weeks also includes the first 2 weeks of
your menstrual cycle, when you are technically not pregnant. If
your cycle varies from this and you know when you ovulated, just
work back 2 weeks from this date to find your last menstrual cycle
date (LMP).
Knowing when you are due can help you plan your important
appointments for your antenatal care and lots more. Planning your
maternity wardrobe eg will I need summer or winter maternity
clothes? What type of clothes should you buy for baby?
Just remember, it's not called your 'ESTIMATED' due date for
nothing. Baby will come whenever they are ready. The majority of
babies are born within 2 weeks either side of their EDD. Click here
