Estimated Date of Confinement

EDC stands for "Estimated Date of Confinement" in the medical field. It refers to the expected due date of a pregnancy — the approximate day when a baby is likely to be born. Doctors and midwives calculate this date based on the first day of the woman’s last menstrual period or through early ultrasound measurements.

This term is important in prenatal care, as it helps track the development of the baby and schedule essential check-ups. Patients often see EDC written in their medical records, especially in obstetrics. It’s also a common search term for expectant parents trying to understand timelines and delivery planning.
