This due date calculator helps you estimate your baby's due date based on your last menstrual period (LMP) and provides information about gender prediction methods. While due dates are estimates, this tool can help you plan for your baby's arrival.
How to Use This Calculator
To use the due date calculator:
- Enter the date of your last menstrual period (LMP) in the calculator.
- Select whether you want to calculate the due date or predict the baby's gender.
- Click "Calculate" to see the results.
The calculator uses the standard 40-week pregnancy period (280 days) to estimate the due date. Gender prediction methods are based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and are for entertainment purposes only.

How Due Date and Gender Prediction Work
Due Date Calculation
The average pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of the last menstrual period. The due date is calculated by adding 280 days to the LMP date.
Gender Prediction Methods
Several traditional methods claim to predict a baby's gender based on factors like the mother's last menstrual period, the father's sperm count, or the baby's position in the womb. However, these methods are not scientifically proven and should be treated as entertainment.
Important Note
Gender prediction methods are not reliable and should not be used to make medical decisions. Every baby is unique, and gender is determined by genetics at conception.
