How is the due date calculated?
The due date is calculated by adding 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period. This is known as Naegele's rule and is the standard method used by healthcare providers.
What are the three trimesters of pregnancy?
The three trimesters are: First trimester (weeks 1-13), Second trimester (weeks 14-26), and Third trimester (weeks 27-40). Each trimester has different developmental milestones and changes.
How accurate is the pregnancy calculator?
The calculator provides an estimate based on the standard 40-week pregnancy. However, only about 5% of women deliver on their exact due date. Most babies are born within two weeks before or after the due date.
