1. Understanding the Basics of Pregnancy Dating
TIP:
Most pregnancies are calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), not from the date of conception.
REASON: This is because ovulation typically occurs two weeks after the start of your last period, and it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact day of conception.
2. Considering Ultrasound Measurements
EXAMPLE:
Early ultrasounds, typically performed between 8-12 weeks of pregnancy, are the most accurate way to confirm or adjust your estimated due date.
BENEFIT:
Ultrasound dating is particularly useful for women with irregular menstrual cycles or those unsure of their last period date.
3. Factoring in Variability REASON:
Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date; most arrive within a two-week window before or after.
LESSON:
It’s essential to understand that the delivery date is only an estimate, and many factors can influence when the baby will actually arrive. 👶
