Is this a more realistic due date?
In 1990, researchers re-examined this issue for modern American women. Results indicated that, for first-time Caucasian moms, an average pregnancy lasts 274 days from conception (approximately 288 days from the last menstrual period).
The old "40 week" rule of thumb is calculated as 266 days from conception (or 280 days from the last menstrual period).
