About Pregnancy Due Date Calculator

The Pregnancy Due Date Calculator helps expectant parents estimate when their baby will arrive. Using medically-recognized calculation methods, this tool provides your estimated due date (EDD) along with key pregnancy milestones.

How Due Date is Calculated

Naegele's Rule

The most common method used by healthcare providers:

Formula: Due Date = LMP + 280 days (40 weeks)

This assumes:

  • A 28-day menstrual cycle
  • Ovulation occurs on day 14
  • Pregnancy lasts 280 days from LMP

Source: Named after Franz Karl Naegele (1778-1851), German obstetrician

Conception Date Method

If you know your conception date:

Formula: Due Date = Conception Date + 266 days (38 weeks)

Pregnancy Trimesters

Trimester Weeks Key Developments
First 1-12 Major organs form, heartbeat begins
Second 13-27 Baby moves, gender identifiable
Third 28-40 Rapid growth, preparation for birth

Important Milestones

  • Week 4-5: Pregnancy test positive
  • Week 8-10: First prenatal visit recommended
  • Week 10-13: First trimester screening
  • Week 18-22: Anatomy ultrasound
  • Week 24-28: Glucose screening
  • Week 36+: Weekly checkups

Accuracy Considerations

  • Only 4-5% of babies are born on their exact due date
  • Normal delivery occurs 37-42 weeks
  • Ultrasound dating in first trimester is most accurate
  • Cycle length affects calculations

Factors Affecting Due Date

  • Cycle Length: Longer/shorter cycles shift ovulation
  • Irregular Periods: Makes LMP method less accurate
  • IVF/Assisted Reproduction: Known conception date is most accurate
  • First vs. Subsequent Pregnancies: Patterns may vary

Disclaimer: This calculator provides an estimate only. Your healthcare provider will confirm your due date using ultrasound and clinical assessment. Always consult with your doctor or midwife for personalized medical advice.
