Birthing Spirit

Let’s throw out the Estimated Due Date (EDD) altogether and replace it with an Estimated Due Month (EDM), only 3% of bubs come on their due date anyway. “Normal” (a whole other topic deserving of it’s own blog) is (apparently) 37-42 weeks and depending on whether you use Woods, Naegels, Lunar, Mittendorf’s or a wheel to calculate an EDD, could give you a date that varies up to 3 weeks anyway! I think I heard (correct me if I’m wrong) that in Canada they are giving a “to be born by” date instead of an EDD?
