Congratulations! You\u2019re pregnant, and now you\u2019re looking forward to welcoming a baby in a few months. But now the question is\u2026when, exactly, can you expect that little bundle of joy to arrive?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A typical pregnancy is approximately<\/span> 280 days<\/span><\/a>, or 40 weeks, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. Of course, that can vary from woman to woman. A pregnancy is considered full term when you have reached the 39-week mark but haven\u2019t hit the 41-week mark yet. Unless there are complicating factors, your obstetrician or nurse midwife will want you to hit that mark before delivering because it\u2019s best for your baby. If it looks like your baby is going to be born early, you may need to undergo steroid injections to help make sure the baby\u2019s lungs are ready.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe frequency of adverse neonatal outcomes is lowest among uncomplicated pregnancies delivered between 39 0\/7 weeks of gestation and 40 6\/7 weeks of gestation,\u201d the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) <\/span>reports<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, your due date (also called an estimated date of delivery or EDD) can help shape the prenatal care you receive. \u201cThe reason due dates are so important is because testing or treatment may need to be done at a certain gestation,\u201d explains <\/span>Judith Strunk<\/span><\/a>, DNP, MSN, a family nurse practitioner and assistant professor for the Michigan State University College of Nursing. In other words, knowing your due date matters. Here\u2019s how to figure yours out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
