Nepali Pregnancy Due Date Calculator (BS & AD): Trimesters & Aama Surakshya Incentives
Official Rule & Calculation Summary: Nepali Pregnancy Due Date Calculator (BS & AD): Trimesters & Aama Surakshya Incentives
Direct Answer: Calculate your baby’s exact delivery due date in Bikram Sambat (वि.सं.) and English (AD) calendars using Naegele’s Rule, track 40-week trimester milestones, and claim Nepal Government Aama Surakshya cash incentives.
Under clinical obstetrical standards (Naegele’s Rule), a full-term human pregnancy lasts 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of a woman’s Last Menstrual Period (LMP), adjusted by plus or minus the number of days her average cycle deviates from a standard 28-day cycle. In Nepal, converting this 280-day gestational timeline into the Bikram Sambat (BS) calendar allows expectant parents to plan hospital delivery dates and complete the Ministry of Health and Population’s mandatory Antenatal Care (ANC) checkups under the Aama Surakshya Programme.
- Exact Formula: Estimated Delivery Date (EDD) = First Day of LMP + 280 Days + (Average Cycle Length - 28 Days).
- 3 Trimester Stages: 1st Trimester spans Weeks 1–12, 2nd Trimester spans Weeks 13–26, and 3rd Trimester spans Weeks 27–40.
- Nepal Government ANC Cash Incentive: Mothers completing protocol ANC checkups in the 4th, 6th, 8th, and 9th months receive NPR 800 upon institutional delivery.
- Free Institutional Delivery & Transport Allowance: Delivering at a listed public health facility grants free normal/C-section delivery plus NPR 1,000 (Terai), NPR 2,000 (Hills), or NPR 3,000 (Mountains) transport allowance.
1. Trimester Milestones & Mandatory Nepal Government ANC Schedule
The Family Welfare Division under the Department of Health Services (DoHS) recommends 8 ANC contacts (and mandates at least 4 protocol visits in months 4, 6, 8, and 9) along with Iron-Folic Acid, Calcium, and Td vaccination:
| Pregnancy Stage | Gestational Weeks | Key Fetal & Maternal Checkups in Nepal | Aama Surakshya Protocol |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Trimester (पहिलो त्रैमासिक) | Weeks 1 – 12 | Dating Ultrasound (USG), Folic Acid, Blood Group & VDRL/HIV test | 1st ANC Contact (<12 Weeks) |
| 2nd Trimester (दोस्रो त्रैमासिक) | Weeks 13 – 26 | Anomaly Scan (18–22 wks), Iron + Calcium tablets, Td Vaccine | Protocol Visits at Month 4 & Month 6 |
| 3rd Trimester (तेस्रो त्रैमासिक) | Weeks 27 – 40 | Fetal growth & position scan, BP/Sugar check, hospital bag prep | Protocol Visits at Month 8 & Month 9 |
2. Nepal Aama Surakshya Programme Cash Allowance by Region
To reduce maternal and neonatal mortality, the Government of Nepal provides 100% free delivery services (normal delivery, complicated delivery, and Caesarean section) at listed public and community hospitals, plus direct cash incentives upon discharge: Terai districts receive NPR 1,000 transport + NPR 800 ANC = NPR 1,800; Hill districts receive NPR 2,000 transport + NPR 800 ANC = NPR 2,800; and Mountain districts receive NPR 3,000 transport + NPR 800 ANC = NPR 3,800.
