How Do They Figure Your Due Date?? Posted: 01-09-07 21:06pm
Okay so im due on friday (yay!! Only 3
more days!) but I was
wondering..........Cause I think they
figure out your due date by your last
period??Right?? So if I gave them the
correct date of my lmp shouldnt that make
my baby come right on the due date or
pretty close to it???Cause im positive of
my lmp because that was my first day at a
new job.

They go by your last period because they
can't say for certain when you ovulated.
On average pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, the
baby can come anytime between 38-42 weeks
(or sooner). It's called an *estimated*
due date because it's just an estimate of
around when to expect them.
