Pregnancy Due Date Calculator

Estimate your due date based on your last menstrual period.

About this Tool

The Pregnancy Due Date Calculator estimates your baby's due date based on the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). This method, known as Naegele's rule, is a standard way healthcare providers estimate a due date. It assumes a 28-day menstrual cycle, with ovulation occurring on day 14. The calculator adds 280 days (40 weeks) to the LMP to predict the due date.

Pro Tips

  • !

    This is an Estimate

    Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date. It's more of a guideline for when you can expect your baby.

  • !

    Cycle Length Matters

    This calculator assumes a 28-day cycle. If your cycle is longer or shorter, your actual due date may differ. Your doctor can provide a more accurate date.

    Ultrasound is More Accurate

    An early ultrasound, usually in the first trimester, is the most accurate way to determine a baby's gestational age and due date.
