As soon as you find out you are pregnant the first question on your mind could well be- when am I due?

Your healthcare provider will help you determine your expected delivery date (EDD) on your first visit.

Your EDD is 40 weeks from the first day of your last period, although your baby was probably conceived about two weeks after that.

If your baby arrives on your EDD, your baby is only 38 weeks old – this is because your period and ovulation are counted as the first 2 weeks of pregnancy.

Your calculated due date is only an estimate – most babies are born between 38 –42 weeks.
