● 267-280 days ● (1-5 months)2
● From fertilization to true signs of labor and *first 5 months square the number
delivery ○ 1st month = 1 cm
○ 2nd month = 4 cm
○ 3rd month = 9 cm
ESTIMATION OF DATE OF ○ 4th month = 16 cm
DELIVERY/CONFINEMENT ○ 5th month = 25 cm
● (6-10 months) x 5

○ 7th month = 35 cm
● Most popular ○ 8th month = 40 cm

EXPECTED WEIGHT GAIN
Mcdonald’s Rule
● Minimum weight gain: 20-25 lbs
● Length of the fundus in cm x 8/7 = age in *keyword: cornetto = 20
weeks ● Optimum weight gain: 25-35 lbs
● Length of the fundus in cm x 2/7 = age in
months 1st tri 1 lb. per month
● Bedside equipment: Tape measure
● Rule: starting from from the 20th week, cm 2nd tri 1 lb. per week
is equal to the week
3rd tri 1 lb. per week
○ 20th week = 20cm
○ 30th week = 30cm
○ 37th week = 37cm ● 1st tri = focused on organogenesis
