Baby Due Date Calculator Justmommies

Calculating your baby's due date is an important step in pregnancy planning. Our JustMommies due date calculator helps you estimate your delivery date based on your last menstrual period or ultrasound results. This tool provides a clear, accurate estimate to help you track your pregnancy timeline.

How to Use This Calculator

Using our baby due date calculator is simple. You can calculate your due date in two ways:

Based on your last menstrual period: Enter the first day of your last menstrual period. Our calculator will add 280 days (40 weeks) to this date to estimate your due date.
Based on ultrasound results: If you've had an ultrasound, enter the date of the ultrasound and the estimated gestational age in weeks. Our calculator will add the remaining weeks to the ultrasound date to estimate your due date.

After entering your information, click the "Calculate" button to see your estimated due date. The calculator will also show you the date range for your due date, which typically spans 2 weeks before and after the exact due date.

How the Due Date Calculation Works

The standard pregnancy length is 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period. This is based on the average duration of pregnancy, though individual pregnancies may vary.

Formula

Due Date = Last Period Date + 280 days

For ultrasound-based calculations:

Due Date = Ultrasound Date + (40 weeks - Gestational Age)

The due date range is typically calculated as 2 weeks before and after the exact due date. This range accounts for normal variations in pregnancy length.

Examples of Due Date Calculations

Example 1: Last Menstrual Period Calculation

If your last menstrual period started on January 1, 2024, your estimated due date would be:

January 1, 2024 + 280 days = October 28, 2024

Due date range: October 14, 2024 to November 11, 2024

Example 2: Ultrasound-Based Calculation

If you had an ultrasound on March 15, 2024, and your baby was 12 weeks old, your estimated due date would be:

March 15, 2024 + (40 weeks - 12 weeks) = March 15, 2024 + 28 weeks = October 28, 2024

Due date range: October 14, 2024 to November 11, 2024
