How to calculate delivery time

Patient's question:

My last menstrual period was from April 30th to May 6th and has ended. Now I haven't had my period, and the test results show I'm pregnant. Please help me. How long have I been pregnant so far, and how do I calculate my due date?

Doctor's answer:

The last menstrual period was on June 30th. Now I have carefully checked and confirmed I am pregnant. The estimated due date should be August 7th of next year. The duration of pregnancy is calculated from the start of the last menstrual period, which means the pregnancy has been ongoing since June 30th. When more than 40 days into the pregnancy, you can go to the hospital to register for prenatal care and start medical check-ups. It is important to pay attention to irregular prenatal check-ups and monitor the fetal growth and development. In addition to emergency care during labor, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
