How to Calculate Pregnancy Due Date
An average pregnancy lasts 40 weeks while the actual gestation period in humans is about 38 weeks. This is why a baby born any time after 38 weeks is considered a full-term baby. The due date is usually calculated by one of different methods such as LMP, Naegele’s rule, or the pregnancy wheel. All these methods help arrive at an estimated date and only about 5% of women actually give birth on their due date. Let’s take a look at due date calculations in depth.
What is Pregnancy Due Date?
The date when your child is expected to be born is known as the pregnancy due date. This is usually about 40 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period. But if you know the exact date of conception then your due date will be 38 weeks from that day.
The due date might be revised by your doctor during the course of your pregnancy depending on the growth of the child or for other reasons. A due date helps your doctor decide when to prescribe various prenatal tests, estimate the growth of the foetus, and take a call on whether any intervention is required if you are overdue.
Calculating Pregnancy Due Date
Every doctor has his or her own preferred method of arriving at the pregnancy due date. You may come across a variety of due date calculators and tools online. However, the three most popular methods in use are:
1. Using Naegele’s rule for calculation of pregnancy due date
Named after German obstetrician Franz Karl Naegele, this rule assumes that a pregnancy lasts for 280 days and one menstrual cycle is of 28 days duration. This means that your expected due date (EDD) is arrived at by adding 280 days (9 months and 7 days) to the first day of your last menstrual period. But if you have a shorter menstrual cycle of say 27 days, you will need to add one day less, i.e. 9 months and 6 days, and so on. If you have a longer cycle, then you have to add the extra days to 9 months and 7 days to arrive at your EDD.
2. Conception date method to calculate your pregnancy due date
Also known as the LMP (last menstrual period) method, it tries to figure out the date on which you conceived to arrive at your EDD. This works on the theory that most women have a 28-day menstrual cycle and in this case, ovulation occurs on or around the 14th day. In this method, forty weeks are added to the date on which you got your last menstrual period. From this date, you take away two weeks to get your EDD. This is to allow for ovulation which is assumed to have happened within the first two weeks after your last period.
3. Pregnancy wheel
Also called a gestation calculator, a pregnancy wheel has become an easy way to estimate your EDD. It does the calculation based on the date of your last period.
Usually, it also contains information about the different stages of your pregnancy. A pregnancy wheel has different spokes displaying the months in a year, phases of antenatal development, as well as start and end of the trimesters.
Can Calculated Delivery Due Date Be Wrong?
None of the EDD calculation methods are fool proof and cannot guarantee that your child will be born on a particular date. It is normal to give birth before or after your estimated due date up to two weeks either way. Statistics indicate that only about 1 in 20 women deliver on their due date. About 10 percent of first pregnancies have been found to continue for two weeks after their EDD. Also, around 70 percent of pregnancies that go overdue are usually wrongly dated.
Pregnancy Due Date Tips
As your due date approaches, you are sure to go through a range of emotions – from anxiety to joy to relief that the long wait is almost over. Your physical discomfort is sure to be at its peak during this time due to the baby running out of space inside. If it’s your first baby, then the prospect of labour and delivery might get you jittery. So, here’s what you can do in those last few days:
Exercise – Continue with whatever exercise you have been pursuing throughout your pregnancy. It can help induce labour and keep you supple for delivery.
Double Check Hospital Bag - It doesn’t hurt to take one more look at what you have packed in your hospital bag. See if there is anything you might have forgotten that you or baby might need for the first couple of days.
Sleep, Sleep – Catch up on sleep as much as you can with naps during the day too. Once your baby is home, sleep might become a scarcity especially during the first few months!
FAQs
1. How accurate are these pregnancy due date?
Around 5% of all babies are born on their due date of delivery. A whopping 90% of babies are born within two weeks of either side of the estimated due date. Any time between 37 weeks to 42 weeks is considered normal.
2. Can the due date change?
Yes, the due date can change depending on different factors like the development of the foetus, pregnancy complications and overall health of the mother.
3. Are there any other methods to calculate the due date?
Yes. Ultrasounds can also help you arrive at an expected due date. These are usually performed sometime between eight and twenty weeks of pregnancy. Measurements of the various parts of the baby’s body and organs helps doctors and radiologists arrive at an estimated gestational age. First trimester ultrasounds are thought to be the most accurate in due date estimation.
4. What if I don’t know my last LMP (last menstrual period) date?
There are other ways in which your doctor can determine the due date with, such as an ultrasound.
5. What if you have long cycles or irregular periods?
A pregnancy wheel can help calculate the baby due date in such cases.
Besides the obvious benefit of knowing when your child is likely to be born, knowing when you are due can prove helpful in some other ways. It gives you an idea of the time you have in hand to get the nursery ready and also helps determine when to start your pregnancy and maternity leave. But remember that this date is just an approximation and not something to get stressed out about. Just stay focused on your health and the well-being of your unborn child as you count off the days!

Ear Popping in Pregnancy - Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment
Ear infections may arise for several reasons when you are expecting a child. Pregnant women may have a higher chance of getting an ear infection than nonpregnant women. If anything like this happens to you, don't get too worked up about it.
If you get an infection while pregnant, though, you should see your doctor. Ignoring ear infections might be harmful to your health and that of your growing kid if they remain unaddressed. Keep reading about ears popping while pregnant to know more.
What Is Ears Popping?
Ear popping is the term used to describe the sensation of hearing muted sounds due to changes in air pressure. You may have Eustachian tube dysfunction, which is causing your popping ears (ETD). Another option is that your ear has been clogged with wax and has to be cleaned out. Ear barotrauma (also known as barotitis medium) is the medical term for the condition that causes ears to pop.
Why and How Does Ears Popping Happen?
The air pressure in and out of the ear is usually the same unless something unusual happens. The ear canal can become inflamed and inaccessible if the Eustachian tube becomes plugged. Its principal role is to balance the air pressure within the middle ear and its pressure.
The Eustachian tube, on the other hand, may get clogged for several reasons. When this happens, there will be no equalization of air pressure in the Eustachian tube. Popping noises are caused by a difference in air pressure between the middle ear and the outside environment, which occurs in the middle ear.
What Causes Ears Popping During Pregnancy?
In general, being pregnant makes you more susceptible to diseases. Changes in your ear, nose, and throat that may occur during pregnancy may increase your chances of acquiring an ear infection, in particular, if you have a cold or flu. A bacterial ear infection may occur due to a condition of either the bacterial or viral kind.
Some of the common problems of ear-popping during pregnancy that may increase the risk of this occurring include:
Hormonal Changes: Increased estrogen and progesterone levels are seen during pregnancy. These hormones may affect your body's immune system, making you more susceptible to sickness caused by bacteria and viruses than usual. Right now, it is not clear how hormones and viruses are linked in a precise manner.
Increase in Blood Flow: As blood flow rises in your body, more fluid is retained in the body. Furthermore, as a result of this, there may be further implications. For example, you may have noticed that your nose gets swollen and congested when pregnant. If you have a lot of fluid in your nose and sinus, you may be more prone to getting an ear infection during your pregnancy.
Vertigo and Dizziness: These are also possible due to changes in the ear that occur during pregnancy.
Meniere's disease: A prior condition such as Meniere's disease may influence your hearing and balance when you are pregnant.
Seasonal allergies, colds, and flu: Seasonal allergies and diseases increase the likelihood of ear and other infections, but notably in children.
Signs and Symptoms of Ear Popping During Pregnancy
An inner ear infection or damage may result in the following ears popping early pregnancy signs and symptoms:
Ringing in the Ears: The sound of the high-pitched ringing sound. This is the tinnitus sound that is most frequently experienced. Loud noises exposures, loss of hearing, and some drugs are all possible reasons.
Ear Infections: If you have an ear infection, it is caused by either a bacterial or viral infection that infects your middle ears (the parts of your ear that are immediately beyond the diaphragm).
Inflammation of the Ears: Otitis Externa is a disorder that causes inflammation of the outer ear canal (redness and swelling), the tube that connects the cochlea to the eardrum.
Discomfort around the Ears: Flu, allergens, or a sinus infection may all cause the tubes in your middle ear to become clogged and ineffective. Otitis media is used when fluid builds up in the middle of the throat and becomes infected. It is by far the most prevalent reason for ear discomfort.
Hearing Loss: A hearing loss may occur when any portion of the ear or auditory (hearing) function does not function in the manner that it is supposed to.
Redness and swelling of the ear canal: Your ear, surrounding the cartilage, will be inflamed, reddish, and sensitive to the touch.
How to Manage and Treat Ears Popping During Pregnancy?
You may also choose to supplement your ear popping treatment with other options for managing the same. For safe ears popping when pregnant, these pointers need to be carefully considered:
Depending on whether you have ear wax or water lodged in your ears, a simple cleaning with an earbud may be all that is required.
Decongestants for the nose
Oral medications
Inhaling steam may assist in easing any popping sounds you may be experiencing as a result of sinus infection or allergies.
Applying heat packs to your ears might help to ease the pain and suffering associated with this condition.
It is also possible that yawning or chewing gum will prevent you from experiencing popping sounds in your Eustachian tube if you have to travel during your pregnancy.
Home Remedies to Treat Ears Popping During Pregnancy
Treatment with home remedies may effectively alleviate ear-popping symptoms. For earaches, the following are some examples of home remedies to try:
Ear Drops: These are made from ruby alcohol, and vinegar are available (do not take this cure if you have additional concerns with your ears, such as damage to the canal)
Warm Compress: A hot water bottle or towel with herbal drops in it may be used in place of the traditional compresses to relieve the discomfort (clear this with an OB during pregnancy)
Steam: Inhaling steam is one of the quickest and most effective ways to remove plugged ears caused by a cold. The steam will aid in loosening and thinning the mucus, which will relieve your ear congestion and relieve your discomfort.
Hydrogen Peroxide: Using hydrogen peroxide, which is quite successful. Using a dropper, gently inject three percent hydrogen peroxide into the infected ear.
Olive Oil: It is possible to apply a few drops of olive oil to the ear and leave it there for five to ten minutes. While keeping your head swiveling to the side, you may use cotton to remove any oil or earwax accumulated in your ears.
According to specialists, ear-popping associated with pregnancy is considered more annoyance than a cause for alarm. Consult your doctor if you are experiencing popping sounds in your ear to rule out any serious problems. Avoid using over-the-counter (OTC) drugs to treat ear infections, and never puncture your ears with a sharp object. Did you have ear popping when you were expecting a child? What process did you use to come up with a solution? Please keep these above-discussed points in mind to help you have a healthy and safe pregnancy.

अब नहीं सीखेगा तो कब सीखेगा?
कल एक शादी में जाना हुआ, पतिदेव के मित्र भी परिवार समेत थे। गाड़ी में मेरी दो साल की बेटी आगे से पीछे कर रही थी कि मुझे कुछ अजीब सी स्मेल आई । मैंने बेटी से पूछा "बेटा पॉटी आयी?" मेरी बेटी जो अभी पूरा बोलना नहीं सीखी उसने अपनी तोतली ज़बान में सिर्फ इतना कहा "ना ना" और फिर खेलने में मशगूल हो गई ।
अब उनके मित्र की पत्नी के निशाने पर मैं थी "हाय हाय, दो साल की हो गई अभी भी बताती नहीं है सु सु-पॉटी के बारे में?"
मैंने कहा "नहीं, हो जाने के बाद बताती है"।
"इतनी बड़ी हो गई (मुझे तो आज ही पता चला कि हाय मेरी बेटी बड़ी भी हो गई..??) अब तो बताना चाहिए ना। मेरी बेटी तो सवा साल की उम्र में ही सीख गई थी। मैंने तीन चार दिन उसे बताया कि सु सु-पॉटी आए तो मम्मा को बताना। शुरू में नहीं बताया, एक दिन दो झापड़ लगा दिए। तब से आज तक हमेशा बताती है।" भाभीजी ने अपना अनुभव मुझसे बांटा।
"हाँ, पर अभी बोलना नहीं सीखी ना (अब ये अभी तक बोलना नहीं सीखी इसका भी बुरा उन भाभी जी और मेरे कई शुभचिंतकों को लग रहा है) और कोशिश तो हमने भी बहुत की है पर अब जब वो नहीं बोलती तो क्या कर सकते हैं। धीरे धीरे सिख जाएगी।" मैंने हो सके उतनी नरमी से बात की।
"तो क्या हुआ बोलना नहीं सीखी। इसमें तो दो शब्द बताने होते हैं। अभी कुछ महीनों में स्कूल जाने लगेगी। फ़िर वहाँ से शिकायतें आएगी की आपकी बेटी ने पॉटी की है। कितना गंदा लगता है इतने बड़े बच्चे ना सीखे तो।" उनकी बातें सुन मेरा दिल बैठा जा रहा था कि जिस ज़िगर के टुकड़े को उसकी शैतानियों की वजह से हम बड़े नहीं होने देना चाहते उसे ये मोहतरमा जबरदस्ती बड़ा ही घोषित करती जा रही है।
"हाँ ! बात तो आपकी सही है पर मुझे अभी स्कूल नहीं भेजना। जब वो बोलने लगेगी तब अपने आप बताएगी। अब मारकर ही तो बच्चों को सब कुछ सिखाया नहीं जाता ना" मैंने थोड़े से कड़े आवाज़ में अपनी आखरी सफाई पेश की (क्योंकि दिमाग का बॉयलर अब किसी भी वक़्त फटने की कगार पर था) पर लगता था उन भाभीजी के हथियार अभी कम नहीं हुए थे।
"अरे बच्चों को ये सब अभी से सिखाना पड़ता है। जल्दी सिख जाए तो हम भी तो फ्री हो जाते हैं। और ऐसे किसी के घर पर जाकर कपड़े गंदे करे तो कितना शर्मिंदा होना पड़ता है। सिखाओ कुछ अपनी बेटी को।" मुझे आज ही पता चला कि मेरे मासूम से फूल की वजह से मुझे शर्मिंदगी भी उठानी पड़ सकती है।
ड्राइव कर रहे पतिदेव ये सब सुन रहे थे। पत्नी का दर्द और बेटी को दिए जानेवाले उलाहनें शायद उनकी बर्दाश्त के बाहर थे। उन्होंने ही जवाब दिया " भाभी अगर बच्चे इतने जल्दी ही सब सीख जाते तो फिर माँ-बाप की क्या ज़रूरत? आज नहीं तो कल सीख जाएंगे। ज़्यादा से ज़्यादा क्या होगा, डायपर का ख़र्चा बढ़ेगा। मैट्रेस गंदे करेगा तो नए आ जाएंगे। जब हम इतना सब ख़र्चा अपने ऊपर कर सकते हैं तो बच्चे के लिए और ज्यादा ही सही। और हमें कोई जल्दी नहीं अपनी बेटी को बड़ा करने की।" मिरर से उन्होंने मेरी ओर देखा और आंखों से ही जैसे कहा कि तुम चिंता मत करो लोगों की बातों से। मैं हूँ ना तुम दोनों के लिए। यकीन मानिए इतना सुकून मिला।
दूसरा एक किस्सा बताती हूँ। सोसाइटी के गार्डन में बेटी को लेकर खेलने जाती हूँ। एक दिन दूसरे विंग की एक सहेली मिली जिसका बेटा अभी तीसरी कक्षा में पढ़ता है। मेरी बेटी झूले से मस्ती कर रही थी और मैं संभालने की कोशिश। उतने में सहेली ने कहा "इसे कुछ सिखाती भी हो या नहीं?" मैंने पूछा क्या सिखाना है?"
"अरे ABCD ऐसा कुछ सिखाओ। अब बड़ी हो रही है फिर कब सीखेगी। थोड़ी मेहनत अभी से किया करो, घर पर ही तो रहती हो। कल को स्कूल भेजोगी तो फ़िर दूसरे बच्चों से पीछे रह जायेगी।" मोहतरमा ने आज ही मेरी गुड़िया को कॉम्पिटिशन की रेस में शामिल कर दिया।
"नहीं मैंने इसे ABCD नहीं सिखाई और सिखानेवाली भी नहीं। मैं उसे खुद से ख़ाना ख़ाना सिखा रही हूँ। मग से दूध पीना सिखा रही हूँ। खाने के बाद अपनी प्लेट किचन में रखना सिखा रही हूँ। सुबह शाम मंदिर में पूजा करते वक़्त अपने पास बैठना और भगवान को हाथ जोड़ना सिखा रही हूँ। अपने खिलौने खुद समेटना सिखा रही हूँ। हालांकि वो कितना सीखी वो उसके मूड पे डिपेंड करता है, मैं तो सिर्फ कोशिश करती हूँ। बाकी ये पढ़ाई वढाई के लिए भी मैं ही मेहनत करूँगी तो स्कूलवाले क्या करेंगे।" मैंने दूसरे ही पल अपनी बच्ची को उस कॉम्पिटिशन से बाहर कर दिया।
मुझे काफी पुराना किस्सा भी याद आया जब मैं कॉलेज में पढ़ती थी और एक दिन दीदी की बेटी को स्कूल पिकअप करने गई थी। तब वो शायद नर्सरी में थी। बाहर खड़ी मम्मियां एक दूसरे से बातें कर रही थी " यार देखो ना ये स्कूलवाले किताबें भी घर पर नहीं देते। अब बच्चों को कुछ पढ़ाना हो तो कैसे पढ़ाएं?" दूसरी माँ बोली " अरे मैंने तो किताबों का एक सेट ख़ुद से खरीद लिया है। घर पर उसी से पढ़ाती हूँ। घर पर ना पढ़ाओ तो बच्चे स्कूल से आकर किताबों को हाथ भी नहीं लगाते।" मैं वहाँ खड़ी खड़ी सोच रही थी 3-4 साल के बच्चों को पढ़ाकर इन्हें क्या आज ही नासा के उपग्रह पर भेजना है? मन तो किया की कहूँ बहन जी आप बच्चा पेट में था तब से पढ़ाई शुरू कर देती तो अब तक तो वो मंगल मिशन पार कर चुका होता। और गुस्सा तो इतना आया कि ऐसी माँओं को मंगल पर भेज देना चाहिए, वो भी बिना दानापानी के।
मुझे समझ नहीं आता हम किस दिशा में जा रहे हैं? किस कॉम्पिटिशन में अपने बच्चों को डाल रहे हैं? किस जगह 2-3 साल का बच्चा पीछे रह जायेगा? क्यों हम उनसे उनका बचपन छीन रहे हैं?
ऐसे हालातों से मुझ जैसी कई माँऐं गुज़री होंगी जहाँ माँ-बाप से ज़्यादा दुनियावालों को चिंता है कि ये नहीं आता, वो नहीं आता, कब सीखेगा? बाद में परेशानी होगी वगैरह वगैरह..आपका बच्चा अभी बैठना नहीं सीखा, मेरा तो 5 महीनें में बैठने लगा था, अभी चलना नहीं सीखा, मेरा तो दस महीने में चलने लगा था, अभी तक बोलना नहीं सीखा, मेरा तो डेढ़ साल में सब कुछ बोलने लगा था। अभी तक फीडिंग करवा रही हो, मैंने तो एक साल में ही छुड़वा दिया था। अभी भी बोतल से दूध पी रहा है, मैंने तो कभी बोतल नहीं दी। अभी तक ख़ाना नहीं सीखा, मेरा तो माँ के पेट से ही दांत लिए पैदा हुआ था और पता नहीं क्या क्या।
ऐसे वाहियात सवाल करने से पहले लोग ये क्यों नहीं सोचते कि वो एक माँ को कितना आहत कर सकता है? ये क्यों नहीं समझते कि सब बच्चे एक जैसे नहीं होते, कोई कुछ जल्दी सीखता है तो कोई कुछ और जल्दी सीखता है। और अंततः उम्र के हिसाब से हर बच्चा अपनी क्षमता अनुसार सब कुछ सीख ही जाता है। सब कुछ जल्दी सीखकर कौनसे झंडे गाड़ने हैं हमें?
हर माँ-बाप अपने बच्चों को श्रेष्ठ देने और सिखाने की कोशिश करते हैं पर ज़रूरी नहीं कि बच्चा आपकी हर ख्वाहिशों पर ख़रा उतरे। उन्हें उनका बचपन जीने दें। आपकी सहूलियत और जल्दी फ्री होने के चक्कर में बच्चों को समय से पहले बड़ा कर देना कहाँ तक उचित है? बच्चों को सुविधाएं कम देंगे तो चलेगा पर उन्हें उनका बचपन लौटा दीजिये।
मेरी बेटी 2 साल की हो चुकी है फिर भी हम दोनों पति पत्नी को लगता है कि हमारी लाडली बहुत जल्दी बड़ी हो गई । कहाँ वो बेड में पड़े पड़े हमें देख मुस्कुरा देती थी। उसकी पहली स्माइल की फ़ोटो अभी भी मोबाइल के स्क्रीन पर है। जब पहली बार घुसकना सीखी थी। जब पहली बार उसने चलने के लिए कदम उठाया था, पहली बार अपनी मम्मा का पजामा या पापा का पेंट पकड़कर खड़े होने की कोशिश की थी। पहली बार दहीं खाने के बाद जो मुंह बनाया था। पहली बार जब मम्मा पापा बोली थी। कितने हसीन लम्हें थे वो जब ये सब पहली बार हुआ था। फिर क्यों मैं चाहूंगी कि मेरी बेटी जल्दी जल्दी सब कुछ सिख जाए। उसके साथ तो हमें अपना बचपन जीने का मौका दुबारा मिलता है। कृपया उसे हाथ से जाने ना दें।
दुनिया के लिए वो भविष्य में कॉम्पिटिशन की रेस में दौड़नेवाला घोड़ा हो सकता है पर हमारे लिए वो सिर्फ हमारा बच्चा है। उसे बच्चे की तरह ही बड़े होने दीजिए। क्योंकि बचपन कभी लौटकर नहीं आता। और किसी भी माता-पिता से ऐसे सवाल करने से खुद को रोके की ये क्यों नहीं और वो क्यों नहीं। बच्चा उनका अपना है, उन्हें तय करने दीजिए कि वो किस तरह की परवरिश देना चाहते हैं अपने अंश को।
नई माँओं से भी कहना चाहूँगी की लोगों की बातों को ज़रा सी भी तवज्जो ना दें। हो सके तो उसे अनसुना कर दें और नहीं सुन सकते तो करारा जवाब उसी पल दे दे ताकि अगली बार कोई आपको आपके बच्चे की कमियाँ न गिनवाए।
