Calculating your baby's due date is an important step in planning for pregnancy. This calculator helps you determine your estimated due date based on your last menstrual period or ultrasound date.
How to Use This Calculator
To calculate your due date, you'll need either:
- Your last menstrual period (LMP) date, or
- Your ultrasound date and the number of weeks since conception
Enter the relevant information in the calculator on the right and click "Calculate" to get your estimated due date.
How Pregnancy Due Dates Are Calculated
Pregnancy is typically considered to be 40 weeks long, with the due date calculated as 40 weeks after the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP).
Formula Used
Due Date = LMP Date + 280 days (40 weeks)
Or, if using ultrasound date:
Due Date = Ultrasound Date + (40 - Weeks Since Conception) weeks
The calculator uses this formula to determine your estimated due date. The result is an estimate and may vary from your actual due date.
Important Note
Pregnancy lengths can vary. Some pregnancies are shorter than 40 weeks, while others may be longer. Always consult with your healthcare provider for the most accurate information.
Example Calculation
Let's say your last menstrual period was on January 1, 2024. Using the formula:
Due Date = January 1, 2024 + 280 days = October 8, 2024
So your estimated due date would be October 8, 2024.
