Estimate your baby's due date and pregnancy timeline using your ovulation date. This calculator helps you track your pregnancy weeks, fetal development stages, and important milestones.
How to Use This Calculator
To estimate your due date and pregnancy timeline:
- Enter your ovulation date in the calculator below.
- Select your menstrual cycle length (average is 28 days).
- Click "Calculate" to see your estimated due date and pregnancy timeline.

This calculator provides an estimate. For precise due date information, consult your healthcare provider.
How the Calculation Works
The estimated due date is calculated by adding the average pregnancy length (280 days) to your ovulation date. The formula is:
The pregnancy is divided into three trimesters:
- First trimester: Weeks 1-12
- Second trimester: Weeks 13-28
- Third trimester: Weeks 29-40
Each week of pregnancy corresponds to specific fetal development milestones.
Pregnancy Timeline by Week
The following table shows key milestones for each week of pregnancy:
| Week | Milestone | Development |
|---|---|---|
| 1-4 | Implantation | Embryo attaches to uterine wall |
| 5-8 | Organ formation | Heart begins to beat, limbs form |
| 9-12 | Facial features | Eyes, ears, nose develop |
| 13-16 | Movement | Baby can make first movements |
| 28-32 | Brain development | Neural connections form rapidly |
| 36-40 | Preparation for birth | Baby's lungs mature, fat stores build |
