P.M. tells you that the date of her last menstrual period (LMP) was February 2 . How would
you calculate her due date? What is her due date?
What will be an ideal response?
Pregnancy lasts about 9 calendar months or 10 lunar months (40 weeks). All dates are calculated by
taking the first day of the LMP, counting back 3 months, and adding 7 days. Or, add 7 days to the LMP
and count forward 9 months. For an LMP of February 2, the due date would be November 9.
