Date of delivery
Pregnancy is calculated in terms of amenorrhoea. In other words, the number of weeks since the mother's last period. In principle, a pregnancy can be expected to last 39 weeks from fertilisation until birth, or 41 weeks of amenorrhoea.

Calculate your expected date of delivery
To calculate when your baby will be born, count 41 weeks from the date of the first day of your last period.
- Date of your last period (day 1): day/month/year = N
- Expected delivery date = N + 41 weeks = day/month/year
