Baby Predictor Calculator

Pregnancy is a fascinating biological process, and understanding your baby's predicted due date can help you plan for your arrival. Our baby predictor calculator uses standard medical guidelines to estimate your due date based on your last menstrual period or ultrasound date.

How the Baby Predictor Works

The average length of a human pregnancy is 280 days (40 weeks). Most medical professionals use this standard to calculate due dates. There are two primary methods for determining a due date:

Method 1: Last Menstrual Period (LMP)

This method adds 280 days to the first day of your last menstrual period. For example, if your last period started on January 1, your due date would be October 31.

Formula: Due Date = LMP + 280 days

Method 2: Ultrasound Measurement

Ultrasound measurements can provide a more precise due date by measuring the gestational sac and fetal pole. The formula used is:

Formula: Due Date = Ultrasound Date + (280 days - Gestational Age)

For example, if your ultrasound shows a gestational age of 12 weeks, and the ultrasound was performed on January 1, your due date would be April 22 (12 weeks after January 1 plus 268 days remaining).
