The calculator uses the standard 40-week pregnancy timeline (280 days) from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). For most women, this is approximately 2 weeks before conception.

How the Due Date Calculation Works

The due date is calculated by adding 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). This is based on the average length of a full-term pregnancy.

Formula: Due Date = Conception Date + 280 days

For example, if conception occurred on January 1, 2023, the due date would be October 28, 2023 (280 days later).

The calculator also provides key milestones throughout the pregnancy, including:

First trimester (weeks 1-12)
Second trimester (weeks 13-28)
Third trimester (weeks 29-40)
Fetal development milestones
Recommended prenatal care visits

Understanding the pregnancy timeline helps prepare for key milestones and medical appointments. Here's a breakdown of important dates:
