How the Due Date Is Calculated

Naegele's Rule: add 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). This assumes a 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14 — if your cycle is longer or shorter, the estimate may be off by several days. Only about 5% of babies arrive on their exact estimated due date; most deliveries occur within ±2 weeks of the estimate. Early ultrasound dating (6-12 weeks) is more accurate than LMP-based calculation for women with irregular cycles.

In Pakistan, antenatal care typically includes monthly checkups in the first two trimesters, biweekly in months 7-8, and weekly in month 9. Government hospitals provide basic antenatal care through Lady Health Workers and Rural Health Centers. For high-risk pregnancies, tertiary hospitals (Jinnah, Services, Lady Willingdon) offer specialized care. Private hospitals offer more comprehensive packages but at significantly higher cost.
