Pregnancy Due Dates are an Estimate, not a Definite

Pregnancy due dates are an estimate of when your baby will make his or her appearance in this world. The truth is only five percent of women deliver on their official “due date.” Why so much flexibility?

The reaction from women is mixed. Some feel the ruling is a benefit to women who are at risk for unwanted pregnancy and who may be too embarrassed to get contraception from a clinic.

What Are Common Sleep Problems During Pregnancy?
