Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How accurate is the due date?

It is an estimate. Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date; most arrive within a week of it.

Q2: Can I calculate due date without knowing LMP?

Yes. Ultrasound scans (dating scans) performed by a doctor can provide a very accurate estimate based on fetal size.

Q3: Is pregnancy always 40 weeks?

40 weeks is the average. A full-term pregnancy is considered anywhere between 37 and 42 weeks.

Q4: Why is due date important?

It helps doctors monitor fetal development milestones and schedule essential tests like the anomaly scan.
