Best Way To Get Pregnant

You've noticed early pregnancy signs, ie your period is well late, you've started getting morning sickness, you've tested positive in your pregnancy test. If you can't wait for the doctor, you can use a pregnancy due date calculator to easily estimate when the baby is due.

On average, a women's pregnancy is approximately 266 days long and the time from the last period to actual conception is 14 days. Using these two factors and depending on how well you know your body's cycle, a pregnancy due date calculator can be used to estimate the due date of a pregnancy. Most doctors uses a similar pregnancy calculator to predict the time of birth without an ultra-sound. You just add 280 days to the start date of your last period, and thats pretty much it!

If you know your body cycle and ovulation time well, there is another way to pinpoint the actual date of conception. By knowing the exact date you had sex during ovulation, you can simply add 266 days to that date and you will find this will give you a fairly reliable due date.

Although an ultra-sound and physical examination is the best way to accurately know your due date, a pregnancy calculator is a great way to get an idea of when the new baby will be due.

Despite all this, you still need to remember your due date is never set in stone. To keep stress levels from rising in expectant mothers, some Doctors will give you monthly time frames like end of March or start of May. If you go over your due date, you need to realize that most babies are born within two weeks of your due date.
