LMP stands for Last Menstrual Period, which is often used to estimate a woman's gestational age during pregnancy. If the LMP was on April 15, 2023, you can estimate the due date and provide an approximate gestational age.
To calculate the estimated due date, you typically add 280 days (or 40 weeks) to the first day of the last menstrual period:
- LMP: April 15, 2023
- Due Date: January 19, 2024
To calculate the gestational age (as of today, October 3, 2023):
- Count the number of weeks from the LMP to today.
- From April 15 to October 3 is approximately 25 weeks and 2 days.
So, as of October 3, 2023, the gestational age would be about 25 weeks and 2 days, leading toward the third trimester of the pregnancy.
Please consult with a healthcare provider for personalized information and advice regarding pregnancy and prenatal care.
