NAGELE’S RULE- to determine the expected date of delivery

SUBTRACT 3 FROM MONTHS , ADD 7 TO DAYS AND 1 TO YEAR

IE LMP-( LAST MENSTRUAL PERIOD) SEPTEMBER 2O,2020

09 20 2020

-3 +7 +1

06 27 2021-June 27,2021 –expected day of delivery

For months January to March-just add 9 to months and add 7 to days

Ie. February 14 2020

02 14 2020

+9 +7

11 21 2020 –expected date of delivery

COMPUTE AGE OF GESTATION

SUBTRACT REMAINING DAYS IN MONTH OF LAST MENSTRUAL PERIOD THEN COUNT ALL
REMAINING DAYS UP TO DAY OF EXAMINATION THEN DIVIDE BY SEVEN

IE. LMP-JULY 10,2020

JULY 16 (Remaining days in

July)
AUGUST 31
SEPTEMBER 30
OCTOBER 16 (Day of examination)

Add all days = 93 then divide by 7 will yield 13 weeks and 2 days AGE OF GESTATION
