The Truth About Due Dates
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The Estimated Due Date (EDD) is based on Naegele’s Rule — a 200-year-old formula that assumes a 28-day cycle and ovulation on day 14. In this episode, we unpack why that’s overly simplistic, how ultrasound “dating” plays into it, and how a single date creates unnecessary urgency around induction.
We also cover:
- What’s actually considered a normal gestation range
- How the label “overdue” shifts decision-making
- Absolute vs. relative risk at 39–41+ weeks
- Practical questions to ask your provider
- Mindset shifts to move from a due date to a due window
- Grounded ways to navigate the final weeks without anxiety
If your due date is approaching — or has passed — this episode will help you zoom out, think critically, and prepare for birth based on physiology, not external pressures.
