Ovulation and Due Date Calculator


Description

The Due Date Calculator helps a woman determine her estimated due date. This can help with planning and coordinating prenatal care. The due date is estimated by adding 40 weeks (280 days) to the approximate first day of the last menstrual period. Only five percent of women deliver their babies on their projected due date, so this date should be used as an estimate.
