How to calculate the time of pregnancy

Calculating the due date in daily life is a very important step. During prenatal check-ups, doctors usually help mothers calculate it.

1. How does a woman’s pregnancy count as life?

Medically speaking, the fertility period is calculated from the first day of the expected date of delivery, and the entire gestation period is 280 days, 10 gestational months (each gestational month is 28 days). The month of the expected date of delivery is calculated by adding 9 or subtracting 3, which is the number of months of the due date. The day of the due date is calculated by adding 7. The due date does not mean that the baby will definitely happen, it is just an approximate time. It is normal to be born within two weeks before or after the due date.
