People may not think of insurance as the most glamorous industry in America, but it does offer stability, challenge and growth to those who choose the profession. Many students feel the only opportunity in an insurance company is working as an agent, says Teresa Poppe, talent management manager at State Farm Insurance in Bloomington, Illinois. There are so many more opportunities within an insurance company, such as claims, marketing, human resources, underwriting, etc. For instance, insurance is fairly recession-proof, because insurance companies tend to be fiscally conservative and Americans need insurance whether the economy is up or down.
The Estimated Date of Confinement (EDC), also known as expected date of delivery/estimated due date (EDD) or simply due date, is a term describing the estimated delivery date for a pregnant woman. Normal pregnancies last between 37 and 42 weeks.
When a woman is pregnant, her date of confinement is generally her due date, or the date when she is expected to give birth. The doctor determines the woman's estimated date of confinement based on the first day of her last menstruation. A full-term pregnancy usually is 37 to 42 weeks, with the due date somewhere in the middle.
