Baby due date
https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/healthyliving/baby-due-date

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimated_date_of_delivery
The estimated date of delivery (EDD), also known as expected date of confinement,[1] and estimated due date or simply due date....

Incredible... wikipedia's "reference" for the term "expected date of confinement" is:
A Concise Guide to the Employment Ordinance. Labour Department, Hong Kong Government

You can read the ordinance here if you like:

comments at お産.  If "confinement" is dated, so is "expected date of confinement", which is especially odd as the 1st gloss. (even though wikipedia explicitly offers it, using a Hong Kong government regulation as a citation, hah).

My intuition seeing "due date" was "baby's due date".  The internet tells me that a straight "baby due date" might be even more common.  Either one (or both), but "due date" should probably be here in some form.

What happens when a sailor gets pregnant at sea?

 It basically says "this servicemember is pregnant. Her estimated date of confinement (20 weeks) is DDMMMYYYY, and her estimated date of delivery is DDMMMYYYY.
Once you reach 20 weeks of pregnancy you are not allowed onboard at all. The ship can opt to keep you to 20 weeks, but every CO in the history of ever will kick you off te ship as soon as possible. This is called the "date of confinement." Don't know why....but it is. Edit: I looked up the term confinement. It's a relic from the 1800s

Yeah some of our forms at work still have ‘Expected Date of Confinement’ on them. I’m gradually changing them so that the ‘C’ refers to ‘Childbirth’ because I’d like us to move on from the 1500s.
Edit: to clarify, I don’t work in a hospital, these are maternity forms where I work (I work in HR). The ‘Confinement’ part actually confuses people.
