When to use

  • Estimating gestational age and the estimated due date from a certain last menstrual period.

Formula

Naegele's rule: estimated due date = LMP + 280 days, adjusted by (cycle length - 28) days. Gestational age = days elapsed since the first day of the LMP.

Pearls and pitfalls

  • Assumes a certain LMP; first-trimester ultrasound is more accurate when dates are uncertain.
  • Cycle-length adjustment shifts the due date for cycles that differ from 28 days.
