How to determine the due date?

Pregnancy is always an important and very responsible event in a woman’s life. When conception has already occurred, it is quite logical that the expectant mother wants to know the expected date of birth. This is a rather controversial issue with various interpretations. This concern of expectant mothers is understandable, because they have so much to do and prepare for childbirth. Therefore, many women turn to doctors with this question, but even they cannot predict with 100% certainty the exact time of the birth of the child. You can calculate the date of birth using different methods, which, to varying degrees of reliability, allow you to find out the approximate dates.

It should be taken into account that even if the calculation shows that the child should be born conditionally on December 1, it is not at all necessary that this will happen on this very day. The deviation can be in one direction or the other, i.e. the time of birth may be shifted two weeks later or earlier. In medical practice, the calculation of the EDA (estimated date of birth) is used.
