Perfectly on time

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?

Don’t forget it’s 37 to 42 completed weeks. Then of course the edd is the date smack bang in the middle, no science needed.
The moon cycles work well. Check out the moon at conception ( if they know when they conceived) and it’s likely to be pretty damn close to the moon they birth under. Just like the lunar planting calender, where you only weed on a waning moon: less babies are born under a waning moon.
