A woman arrives at the clinic for a pregnancy test. The first day of her last menstrual period (LMP) was September 10, 2013. Her expected date of birth (EDB) would be? ___________________
What will be an ideal response?
ANS:
June 17, 2014
Using Nägele's rule, June 17, 2014, is the correct EDB. The EDB is calculated by subtracting 3 months from the first day of the LMP and adding 7 days + 1 year to the day of the LMP. Therefore, with an LMP of September 10, 2013:
September 10, 2013 – 3 months = June 10, 2013 + 7 days = June 17, 2013 + 1 year = June 17, 2014
