There are many ways to go about it. Standard methods like Naegele’s Rule help predict when your baby can arrive.
Disclaimer: While these methods give an estimated due date, remember every pregnancy is unique. Only 4% of babies arrive exactly on their due date. Your doctor can share a more accurate timeline with ultrasounds.
Counting from your last period:
The most common method calculates your due date by counting 40 weeks forward from the first day of your last menstrual period.
Counting from ovulation:
If you know your ovulation or conception date, your due date is estimated by adding 38 weeks from that day for a more precise timeline.
Be kind to yourself, be in the present and recognize that at this moment in time, you have a positive pregnancy test, get ready for an adventure!
