How Is Your Due Date Calculated?
There are two common ways to calculate your baby’s due date:
1. Based on your last menstrual period (LMP)
This is the most common method. Your due date is calculated by adding 40 weeks to the first day of your last period .
This method is widely used because most people know when their last period started, even if they are unsure about the exact date of conception.
Based on conception date
If you know exactly when you conceived, your due date is typically calculated by adding 38 weeks to that date .
However, this method is less commonly used because it can be difficult to know the exact day of conception.
