Baby Due Date Calculator How Many Weeks

Pregnancy is a journey that begins with a due date calculation. Our baby due date calculator helps you determine how many weeks you're pregnant based on your last menstrual period (LMP) or ultrasound date. This guide explains how to use the calculator, understand pregnancy weeks, and track your progress.

How to Use This Calculator

Using our baby due date calculator is simple. Follow these steps:

Enter your last menstrual period (LMP) date or ultrasound date in the calculator.
Select whether you're using LMP or ultrasound date.
Click "Calculate" to see your estimated due date and pregnancy week count.
Review the result and track your pregnancy progress.

For the most accurate results, use your first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) or the date of your first-trimester ultrasound.

How the Calculation Works

The standard pregnancy duration is 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). Our calculator uses this standard to estimate your due date.

Due Date = LMP Date + 280 days Pregnancy Weeks = Current Date - LMP Date (in weeks)

For example, if your LMP was January 1, 2023, your due date would be October 31, 2023. If today is May 1, 2023, you would be 14 weeks pregnant.

Understanding Pregnancy Weeks

Pregnancy is divided into three trimesters:

First trimester: Weeks 1-12
Second trimester: Weeks 13-28
Third trimester: Weeks 29-40

Each trimester has unique developments and milestones. Tracking your pregnancy weeks helps you understand what to expect at each stage.

Enter your LMP or ultrasound date.
Check the calculator regularly to see your current week.
