Formula Used

Due Date Calculation

When calculating based on Last Menstrual Period (LMP):

Due Date = LMP + 280 days

When calculating based on Estimated Due Date (EDD):

LMP = EDD - 280 days

Pregnancy is typically considered to be 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of the last menstrual period.

Assumptions

Standard 280-day pregnancy length
No complications affecting pregnancy duration
First day of last menstrual period is considered week 1

Worked Example

Let's say your last menstrual period started on January 1, 2023. Here's how the calculation works:

LMP: January 1, 2023
Add 280 days: January 1 + 280 days = October 7, 2023
Your estimated due date would be October 7, 2023

If today is June 1, 2023, you would be in week 20 of your pregnancy (20 weeks and 5 days).
