  • Accurate EDC calculation is crucial for managing pregnancy and labor, particularly for post-term pregnancies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the historical origin of Naegele's rule.
  • To investigate potential misinterpretations of Naegele's rule in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Historical literature review of Naegele's rule.
  • Analysis of potential discrepancies in its application.

Main Results:

  • The origin of Naegele's rule is examined.
  • Evidence suggests a possible misinterpretation of the rule's application.

Conclusions:

  • Misinterpretation of Naegele's rule may lead to an earlier estimated date of delivery.
  • This has significant implications for the management of post-term pregnancies and labor induction protocols.
