Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are due date calculations?

Due dates are estimates. Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date. Most babies are born within 2 weeks before or after the calculated due date. Ultrasound dating in the first trimester is most accurate.

Which calculation method is most accurate?

Ultrasound dating, especially when done between 8-13 weeks, is considered the most accurate method. LMP dating assumes a 28-day cycle and may be less accurate for women with irregular cycles.

What if I have irregular cycles?

If you have irregular menstrual cycles, the LMP method may be less accurate. In this case, ultrasound dating or conception date (if known) would provide a more reliable estimate.

When is a baby considered full-term?

A baby is considered full-term between 39-40 weeks of pregnancy. Early term is 37-38 weeks, late term is 41 weeks, and post-term is 42+ weeks.

Can my due date change?

Yes, your healthcare provider may adjust your due date based on ultrasound measurements, especially if there's a significant difference (more than 7 days) from your LMP-based due date.
