Pregnancy Due Dates And Leap Year
I have a strange question about pregnancy due dates. All of the pregnancy calculators that I have seen don't add a day in for leap year when it comes around. Since this year, February has 29 days should my due date be moved up from March 16 to March 15?

no dear, coz the pregnancy calculators will not give you the straight day that you might have concepted, they are there just to give you a base about when it must have occured. so one or 2 or even 3 days would not make such a difference since it is not a method that will bring your the exactly day that happened.

Yes as you said because leap year was this year and it was an extra day."each day counts!" means the date on which the possibility of giving birth is more if you completed the whole days of pregnancy.In your pregnancy whether it is 31st of the month or a additional day due to leap year. Also the most important thing is it wouldn't matter anyway... your due date is only an estimation of the closest date to which you should have the baby.... not many woman actual have there babies on the due date...

You can sai in pregnancy every day counts but dear your due date would be after completion of 40 weeks actually due date is the closest date on which your baby is due. this is not an accurate many womens have the fluctuation on their due date most of them get before most of them get after only few one have the accuracy.its totally depend upon chance.
