How accurate is the expected due date – Expected due date based on ultrasound versus LMP

Here is a secret: your doctor does not tell you your expected due date so that you know when your baby will be born. Telling you the expected due date fulfills a completely different purpose. And because of that it is really important that you get your expected due date as right as possible!

So, in this video, Nathalie Kaufmann, Pregnancy & Birth Consultant and TCM Therapist, and Mathias Ritter, Researcher and Science Geek, explain what the expected due date REALLY means. Moreover, they explain the two most common approaches to calculate the expected delivery date, namely, the first day of the last menstrual period as well as an ultrasound exam. And they also discuss which approach produces more accurate results. Furthermore, they explain what is the best time to have an ultrasound exam to predict the delivery date and why ultrasound exams later in a pregnancy produce less accurate expected delivery dates. Finally, they also briefly discuss what you can do if you receive several different estimated delivery dates.
