FAQ

How is an estimated due date (EDD) calculated?
EDD is calculated using Naegele's rule (LMP + 280 days), adjusted for cycle length, or calibrated directly via first-trimester crown-rump length (CRL) ultrasound.
How fast should hCG levels double in early pregnancy?
In viable early pregnancies, serum hCG typically doubles every 48 to 72 hours when concentrations are below 6,000 mIU/mL.
Should online tools replace obstetric care?
No. These calculators are designed for educational guidance and tracking. Regular prenatal checkups with an obstetrician or certified midwife are essential for maternal-fetal health.
