Naegele’s Rule Calculations: Approximate Calculation of Due Date: Once you are sure you are pregnant, the question you need to ask is, “when am I due?” There are various ways to estimate a due date, but these are never absolute.

Naegele’s Rule: For a woman with regular 28 day cycles, the expected due date (EDD or EDC) can be calculated by adding 9 calendar months and 7 days to the first day of her last menstrual period (LMP) Or, subtract three months and add 7 days from the LMP.

Example 1: LMP: 10/31/2015 EDD: 8/7/16

2: LMP: 12/25/2015 EDD: 10/2/16

Now you try:

1. LMP: 4/12/16 EDD:

2. LMP: 11/22/2015 EDD:

3. LMP: 12/28/2015 EDD:

Answer 1

Gravida (G ) describe a woman who got pregnant that is total number of confirmed pregnancy a woman has had..if it is a first time she is pregnant that is called primigravida..

Parity or para(p) is total number of pregnancy that a woman has carried for past 20weeks of pregnancy..it should include both live births and pregnancy losses( abortion) after 20 weeks like still birth..

A- Abortion ( spontaneous and induced)

L - number of living children

G - 5, T - 2, P- 1, A- 1, L - 3

In second case her G - 2, P - 1

G- 2, T - 1, P - 0, A - 0, L- 2

1, LMP : 4/12/2016 EDD: 2/19/17

2, LMP : 11/22/2015 EDD: 9/29/2016

3, LMP: 12/28/2015 EDD : 10/ 5/2016
