Patient's question:
Thank you for taking the time to help me out during your busy schedule! I look forward to your reply.Detailed medical condition and purpose of consultation: Hello doctor, my husband and I are living in separate locations. I became pregnant, but I've been unable to accurately calculate my due date. My last menstrual period was on August 8th last year. All our previous sexual encounters were protected. My husband only returned at the end of August, and due to my miscalculation of the safe period, I had unprotected sex three times on September 2nd and the following days (before September 7th). (My husband returned to work on the 11th.) Since my period did not arrive on time, a test on the 10th showed that I was not pregnant. However, as the days passed...
Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, the fetal movement of primiparas usually appears around the 18th to 20th week, while multiparas, with their experience, feel fetal movement about 2 weeks earlier, which is between the 16th and 18th weeks. Based on the regularity of fetal movement, the expected due date can be calculated. The formulas are as follows:- For primiparas: Expected due date = Date of fetal movement + 20 weeks
- For multiparas: Expected due date = Date of fetal movement + 22 weeks
