Pregnancy is an exciting time for many women. A big part of the excitement is finding out when your baby will be born. There are a few different ways to calculate your due date.
This is the most common method of calculating your due date. However, it’s not always accurate, as every pregnancy is different.
An ultrasound can more accurately pinpoint when your baby is due. However, it’s not always available or necessary.
Your body temperature changes throughout your cycle. By tracking these changes, you can get a better idea of when you ovulated and when your baby is due.
All you need is the first day of your last period and the average length of your cycle.
Most home pregnancy tests will give you an accurate result if you wait until at least the first day of your missed period. So, if your period is usually regular, you can probably just go by the date on the test.
But if your periods are irregular, or you're not sure when you ovulated, there's a simple way to calculate your due date using the date of your last period. Just count back 38 weeks from that date. That's your estimated due date.
Of course, this is just an estimate.
