EDD stands for Estimated Date of Delivery, which is a predicted date for a pregnant woman to give birth.
Here's an example:
- Sarah's EDD is July 15th, 2024. This means that doctors predict Sarah will give birth on or around July 15th, 2024.
EDDs are calculated based on the first day of a woman's last menstrual period (LMP) and are a useful tool for planning and preparing for childbirth.
However, it's important to remember that EDDs are just estimates. Many babies are born before or after their EDD.
