Pregnancy Due Date Calculator

Calculate your estimated due date using last menstrual period, conception date, or ultrasound measurement. See current gestational age, trimester, and a timeline of prenatal milestones.

This tool provides an estimate based on standard obstetric dating formulas (Naegele's rule, 280-day gestation). Only about 4% of babies are born on their exact due date — most arrive within 2 weeks before or after. Always confirm with your healthcare provider.

Calculation Method

Naegele's rule: Due date = LMP + 280 days, adjusted for cycle length difference from 28 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Pregnancy Due Date Calculator?

The Pregnancy Due Date Calculator is a free online tool that calculate your estimated due date using last menstrual period, conception date, or ultrasound. shows current gestational age, trimester, and prenatal milestone timeline.. It runs entirely in your browser with no installation or sign-up needed.

How is due date calculated?

Naegele rule: LMP + 280 days (40 weeks). Adjusted for cycle length if different from 28 days. Conception method uses +266 days; ultrasound method back-calculates from measured gestational age.

Which method is most accurate?

First-trimester ultrasound is the gold standard, accurate to ±5-7 days. LMP dating is accurate to ±2 weeks when cycles are regular. Conception dating is accurate if you know exactly when conception occurred.

How accurate is the due date?

Only about 4% of babies are born on their exact EDD. Most arrive within 2 weeks before or after (37-42 weeks = full term). Your provider may adjust the EDD after the first ultrasound.

How many weeks pregnant am I if I know my due date?

Pregnancy is counted in 40 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), so your current week is the time elapsed since that LMP, not since conception. If you only know your due date, subtract 280 days from it to find the equivalent LMP, then count forward to today. For example, a due date eight weeks away puts you at roughly 32 weeks, because 40 minus 8 equals 32. Clinicians always express this as completed weeks plus extra days, like "32w 4d," rather than rounding up. This tool does the math for you: enter your LMP, conception date, or ultrasound result and it instantly shows your gestational age in weeks and days, your trimester, and how many days remain until your estimated due date.

Why does the due date change after my first ultrasound?

Your due date can shift because LMP dating assumes you ovulated on day 14 of a textbook 28-day cycle, which often isn't true. If you ovulated earlier or later, or aren't certain of your last period, the LMP estimate drifts. A first-trimester ultrasound measures the embryo directly and is accurate to within about 5 to 7 days, so providers commonly re-date the pregnancy when the scan disagrees with the LMP by more than roughly a week. This is normal and makes later screening tests more reliable. You can see both estimates side by side here: calculate once with your LMP, then switch to the ultrasound method and enter the gestational age your sonographer measured to compare how much your due date moves.

How do I calculate a due date if my cycle isn't 28 days?

Standard Naegele's rule adds 280 days to your LMP assuming a 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14. If your cycle is longer or shorter, ovulation and conception happen on a different day, so the textbook formula can be off by several days. The fix is to adjust for the difference: a 32-day cycle ovulates about four days later, pushing the due date roughly four days back, while a 24-day cycle pulls it forward. This calculator handles that automatically. Choose the LMP method, enter the first day of your last period, then set your real cycle length anywhere from 20 to 45 days, and the estimated due date shifts to match your actual ovulation timing rather than the generic 28-day assumption.

What pregnancy milestones happen each week before my due date?

Several key checkpoints map to specific gestational weeks. A missed period and positive test usually appear around week 4, the first prenatal visit near week 8, and the end of the first trimester at week 12. The anatomy scan, where the baby's sex can often be seen, falls around weeks 18 to 20, glucose screening near week 24, and the third trimester begins at week 28. Weekly visits typically start at week 36, full term begins at week 37, the estimated due date lands at week 40, and post-term induction is usually discussed around week 42. This tool plots all thirteen of these milestones against your own calendar dates and marks each as passed or upcoming, so you can see exactly when each one arrives.

Can I find out my conception date from my due date?

Yes, you can work backward, though the result is an estimate rather than an exact day. Conception typically occurs about 266 days, or 38 weeks, before the due date, because the standard 40-week count is measured from your last period roughly two weeks before you actually ovulated. So subtracting 266 days from your estimated due date gives an approximate conception window. Keep in mind sperm can survive several days, so the precise day of fertilization is rarely certain unless you tracked ovulation closely. If you already know your conception date, this calculator works in the other direction too: pick the conception method, enter that date, and it adds 266 days to show your estimated due date, current week, and trimester.

About the Pregnancy Due Date Calculator

The Pregnancy Due Date Calculator estimates when your baby is likely to arrive and shows where you are in the pregnancy right now. Enter a single date and it returns your estimated due date (EDD), your current gestational age in weeks and days, your trimester, and a full timeline of prenatal milestones mapped to real calendar dates. It is built for anyone who has just seen a positive test and wants to plan ahead — expectant parents, partners, and anyone tracking a pregnancy week by week.

Everything runs in your browser. The dates you enter are never uploaded or stored on a server, so your pregnancy details stay private on your own device. There is no sign-up, no app to install, and no limit on how often you can recalculate.

Three ways to date a pregnancy

The calculator offers three methods, each suited to what you actually know:

  • Last menstrual period (LMP) — the standard clinical starting point. Due date is calculated with Naegele's rule: the first day of your last period plus 280 days (40 weeks). If your cycle isn't the textbook 28 days, enter your real cycle length (20–45 days) and the result shifts accordingly, since ovulation in a longer or shorter cycle moves the conception date.
  • Conception date — if you know the day conception occurred, the EDD is that date plus 266 days, which reflects roughly 38 weeks of actual fetal development rather than the 40 weeks counted from LMP.
  • Ultrasound — enter the scan date plus the gestational age the sonographer measured (weeks and days), and the tool back-calculates the EDD. A first-trimester ultrasound is the most accurate dating method available.

What the results tell you

Once a valid date is entered, three summary cards appear. The first shows your estimated due date and a live countdown — how many days away it is, or how many days past due you are. The second reports your current gestational age, expressed the way clinicians do, in completed weeks and days since your LMP (for example, "10w 3d"). The third names your trimester: the first runs through week 12, the second covers weeks 13 to 26, and the third spans week 27 to delivery.

Below that, a pregnancy timeline lays out thirteen common milestones against your specific dates and marks each as passed or upcoming. These include the likely missed-period date around week 4, the end of the first trimester at week 12, the anatomy scan window around weeks 18–20 where the sex can often be learned, glucose screening near week 24, the start of weekly visits at week 36, full term at week 37, the EDD at week 40, and the post-term point at week 42. You can copy a plain-text summary of your due date, gestational age, and trimester to your clipboard with one click.

Why the estimate is a range, not a guarantee

A due date is a best estimate, and it helps to treat it that way. Only about 4% of babies are born on their exact EDD. Most arrive within two weeks on either side, and any birth between 37 and 42 weeks is considered full term. Accuracy also depends on the method: a first-trimester ultrasound is typically reliable to within about 5–7 days, LMP dating is accurate to roughly two weeks when cycles are regular, and conception dating is precise only if you genuinely know the day. Your provider may revise the EDD after your first scan.

This tool uses standard obstetric formulas and is meant for planning and curiosity, not medical decisions. Always confirm your due date and pregnancy care with a qualified healthcare provider.
