Baby Due Date Gender Calculator
This baby due date gender calculator helps you estimate your baby's due date and provides information about gender prediction methods. While gender prediction is not 100% accurate, this tool offers insights based on current medical knowledge.

To use the baby due date gender calculator:

The calculator uses standard pregnancy duration of 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) or from conception.
How the Due Date Gender Calculator Works
The calculator estimates your baby's due date by adding 280 days to your last menstrual period (LMP) date or conception date. This is based on the average pregnancy duration.
Formula
Due Date = Last Menstrual Period Date + 280 days
or
Due Date = Conception Date + 280 days
For example, if your last menstrual period was on January 1, 2023, your estimated due date would be October 9, 2023.
Gender Prediction Methods
Several methods claim to predict baby's gender before birth, but none are 100% accurate. Common methods include:
- Nuchal Translucency (NT) scan - Measures fluid behind the baby's neck
- Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI) - Measures the amount of amniotic fluid
- Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) - Analyzes the baby's heartbeat pattern
- Genetic Testing - Tests for certain genetic markers
Note: Gender prediction methods have varying accuracy rates. Some may be more reliable than others, but no method guarantees 100% accuracy.

- No method is 100% accurate
- Results may be inconclusive
