Quick Due Date Math

If you want to quickly figure out your due date without the help of any calculators or wheely things in the doctors office here's what you do..

Take the 1st day of your last period. Add 7 days. Count backwards 3 months...

If your LMP was September 20. You added 7 days to get the 27th. Then back 3 months to June...so the due date would be June 27th.

Re: Quick Due Date Math

this only works for people with 28-day cycles Chat Icon

if you're like me, with a cycle of 23-25 days, the due date would be wrong... if i used that method my EDD would be 9/13, and it's actually 9/8.

not a huge difference but when you are doing it for 40 weeks i like to get as early an EDD as possible Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

OH YEAH!!! Doesnt work for me either...my LMP with DS was Nov 19th. Which means my due date should have been August 26th. B/C of my weird cycles my due date was September 14th...

It's just a fun thing for the new preggos on here that havent gone to the doctor yet...etc..
