Question:Is there an easy way to calculate when a pregnant woman is due to deliver?
Answer:Add 7 days to the day the woman' s last period started, and 9 months to die month of her last period, eg: If the last period started on 5th January 2002 (5.1.02), she will be due on 12th October 2002 (12.10.02). The calculation is shown again in the example below: 5 . 1 . 02 + 7 . 9 = 12 . 10. 02 A pregnancy lasts 40 weeks from the beginning of the last period, but only 38 weeks from conception, because a woman ovulates two weeks after her period starts.
