An easier way in figuring out due dates is to take the first day of your last period, count backward 3 months, add 7 days, and add an entire year. This is called Naegele's Rule. Choose other methods to calculate your due date if you cannot remember the date of your LMP or have irregular periods.
The date of LMP is known by most women so doctors use this date as a starting point for pregnancy. From your LMP they will add 280 days and this will give your Estimated Due Date or EDD. In general, all doctors agree that pregnancies, when using the LMP dating technique, average approximately 280 days or 40 weeks.
