The most exciting moment during the life of a woman rather
mother is the moment when she knows that she is pregnant.
The thrill and the anxiety of an expectant mother are
justifiable. Mostly one may be anxious in knowing when she
is going to step into the shoes of a mother the unique and
noble position that only womanhood is eligible for.
One may be too anxious in calculating the estimated date as
soon as one knows about the conception. Knowing the uphill
task of doing the mental arithmetic and the possible errors
many medical colleges, health and baby sites have online
pregnancy calculators that give you the instant result of
the due date and the date of conception.
The pregnency calculator calculate backwards or forward once
you give either the date of your last menstrual period or
the estimated due date. To know when the conception was
occurred or to determine the due date one needs to give the
date of the last menstrual period. However the calculators
are based on a 28 days menstrual cycle and would require
necessary adjustments for those who have erratic periods or
shorter or longer intervals. It is assumed that conception
occurs normally about 2 weeks after the date of the last
menstrual period and the estimated due date is arrived after
40 weeks of that date.
The calculator is a ready reckonor to determine the duration
of pregnency and take appropriate precautions. One may also
be benefited to match the weight gained and the pregnancy
stage as per the standard recommendations. It may help face
the physiological changes and symptoms at various stages of
pregnency. The expectant mother needs to be aware and
prepared to take the required precautions for the morning
sickness, Fatigue, sensitivity to taste and smell, dizziness
frequent urination etc normally found at different stages of
pregnency.
