What is a Due Date?

A due date is an estimated date of your baby's birth. It helps your doctor determine when to perform prenatal tests, gauge fetal growth, and determine whether you are overdue enough to require intervention.

The due date is an estimate of when the baby will be born. Only about 5% of women deliver their babies on their projected due date.
