Formula Used
The due date is calculated based on the average length of a full-term pregnancy, which is 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of the last menstrual period.
Formula
Due Date = Last Menstrual Period + 280 days (40 weeks)
For ultrasound dates, the due date is calculated as:
Due Date = Ultrasound Date + (280 days - Gestational Age in Days)
This formula provides an estimate and may vary based on individual factors.
Worked Example
Let's say your last menstrual period was on January 1, 2023. Using the formula:
Example Calculation
Due Date = January 1, 2023 + 280 days
Due Date = October 28, 2023
Therefore, your estimated due date would be October 28, 2023.
