Calculation of delivery time

Many mothers who are preparing to give birth worry that the delivery will take too long or be too painful. Real worry and anxiety are very common. I believe everyone must be very curious about how long the delivery time is and how to calculate it. So let's learn about it together.

It takes 266 days from fertilization to birth of the fetus. However, since it is generally difficult to determine the exact date of fertilization, the entire pregnancy period is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period, which takes about 280 days.

To calculate the due date, simply add 9 months and 1 week (280 days) to the first day of your last menstrual period. For example: the last menstrual period is January 1st, add 9 months to get October 1st, and then add 1 week (7 days) to get October 8th.

October 8th is the due date. Actual delivery may occur within 2 weeks before or after the due date. If your menstrual cycle is irregular or you cannot remember the date of your last menstrual period, please estimate it based on a gynecological examination in early pregnancy.

The above we learned about the calculation of delivery time. First of all, many expectant mothers must relax themselves and give birth correctly to reduce excessive pain, which will help them better.
