Ways In Which You Can
Calculate Your Due Date by
Brett Roberts
As soon
as you find out you are pregnant the good news spreads to family and
friends. The next question is "When are you due?" Even though most
babies do not arrive on their due date, there are a few ways to
calculate when your due date should be. 1. Date
Of The Mother Last Menstrual Cycle The date of
the mother's last period is ofton used to calculate your due date since
the exact date of conception is seldom known. Normally, the due date is
40 weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period. 2. Conception
Date If known, another way to calculate your due
date is your conception date. Ovulation and conception generally occurr
2 weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period, hence the due date is 38 weeks from conception. 3. Ultrasound Having an ultrasound is the most accurate way to confirm a
baby's gestational age in order to calculate the due date. An
ultrasound
measures the baby and
these measurements are used to calculate the baby's gestational age. An
ultrasound can be performed 5-6 weeks after the last menstrual cycle
with the most accurate results being obtained 8-18 weeks from the
beginning of the last mestrual cycle. An accurate due date can be
provided with the help of an ultrasound and the calculated date from
the first date of the last period. In conclusion, for
woman with irregular mestrual cycles, the most accurate way to
determine your due date is with an ultrasound. However, if the baby is
unusally large or small an ultrasound may not be able to provide enough
information to give you an accurate due date. Brett
