Expected Date of Confinement

EDC refers to "Expected Date of Confinement" in medical language, especially in the context of pregnancy. It marks the estimated day when a baby is likely to be delivered, calculated from the first day of the mother’s last menstrual cycle. Although the word “confinement” is a bit outdated, the abbreviation EDC is still widely used in clinical settings.

This term helps doctors schedule check-ups and prepare for delivery plans throughout the pregnancy. Parents often learn about their EDC during early prenatal visits, and it becomes a key date for monitoring the baby’s growth and health.
