For the 2010 film, see Due Date. 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.
Common Terms and Abbreviations Used in Obstetrics. LMP = Last Menstrual Period. Use the first day of the last menstrual period to calculate the due date. The quick way to do it in your head is to count backwards 3 months from the first day of the LMP, then add 7 days. So if the LMP was 8/15, the 3 months backwards is 5 (May) plus 7 days added to the 15th=22, so the due date is May 22. EDC or EDD = the due date.
