Instructions
Step 1
Pregnancy normally lasts about 280 days. Add this figure to the date of your last period. You will have an estimated due date. But remember that this is only an approximate number, in fact, you can give birth a little earlier or later than the due date.
Step 2
You can also use a special technique that is used in obstetrics and gynecology. Subtract 90 days (three months) from the first day of your last period and add seven days. You will receive the due date.
Step 3
If you have forgotten when your last period was or did not stop at all, then visit your gynecologist. The doctor will be able to recognize the gestational age by the characteristic signs. You can also donate blood to the level of the hCG hormone and undergo an ultrasound scan, after all these procedures, the doctor will calculate the date of your baby's birth. During pregnancy, you will undergo an ultrasound scan on a regular basis and the due date will be slightly corrected.
