Frequently Asked Questions
Pro Tips
Only about 5% of babies are born on their due date — the Naegele's Rule date is the midpoint of a 5-week window. Don't over-plan for the exact date.
Early ultrasound (6-10 weeks) is more accurate for dating than last menstrual period if your cycles are irregular. Your OB may adjust your due date based on ultrasound.
Gestational age in weeks is counted from LMP, not conception. "6 weeks pregnant" means 6 weeks since your last period, which is only 4 weeks since likely conception.
Track your symptoms week by week using the trimester milestones. Many pregnancy apps let you export a report — useful to share with your healthcare provider.
