Baby Due Date Calculator India

Calculate your baby's due date in India using our accurate pregnancy due date calculator. This tool helps you determine your estimated due date based on your last menstrual period (LMP) or ultrasound date, following standard Indian pregnancy guidelines.

How to Use This Calculator

To calculate your baby's due date in India:

Select whether you want to use your last menstrual period (LMP) or ultrasound date.
Enter the date of your last menstrual period or the date of your ultrasound.
Click "Calculate" to see your estimated due date.

The calculator uses standard Indian pregnancy guidelines, which typically consider a full-term pregnancy to be 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of the last menstrual period.

Formula Used

The due date is calculated by adding 280 days (40 weeks) to the date of your last menstrual period (LMP) or by adding the appropriate weeks to the ultrasound date, depending on the gestational age at the time of the scan.

Due Date = LMP Date + 280 days OR Due Date = Ultrasound Date + (40 - Gestational Age) weeks

For example, if your LMP was on January 1, 2023, your due date would be October 31, 2023 (280 days later).

Worked Example

Let's say you had your last menstrual period on May 15, 2023. Here's how the calculation works:

Start with your LMP date: May 15, 2023.
Add 280 days to this date.
Counting 280 days from May 15, 2023, lands on February 22, 2024.

Therefore, your estimated due date would be February 22, 2024.

Note: The actual due date may vary by a few days from this estimate. Always consult with your healthcare provider for the most accurate information.
