Due Date Calculator

The Due Date Calculator estimates your baby's expected delivery date based on the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) or conception date. It also shows your current week of pregnancy and trimester, and provides a timeline of key pregnancy milestones.

How the Formula Works

Naegele's Rule: Due Date = LMP + 280 days (40 weeks). From conception: Due Date = Conception Date + 266 days (38 weeks).

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the first day of your last menstrual period, or
  2. Enter the estimated conception date
  3. View your estimated due date and current pregnancy week

Tips & Best Practices

  • Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date — it's an estimate
  • Full term is considered 39–40 weeks; early term is 37–38 weeks
  • First-time mothers tend to deliver slightly later than their due date on average
  • An ultrasound in the first trimester is the most accurate way to confirm your due date

Important Limitations

  • Assumes a 28-day menstrual cycle with ovulation on day 14 — cycles vary
  • Not accurate for women with irregular periods
  • Ultrasound dating may differ from LMP-based calculations
