Expected Baby Delivery Date Calculator

Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

Pregnancy is a special time, and knowing your expected baby delivery date can help you prepare for the arrival of your little one. Our Expected Baby Delivery Date Calculator makes it easy to estimate your due date based on your last menstrual period (LMP) or ultrasound date.

How to Use This Calculator

Using our Expected Baby Delivery Date Calculator is simple. Follow these steps:

  1. Enter your last menstrual period (LMP) date or ultrasound date in the calculator.
  2. Select whether you're using the LMP method or ultrasound method.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to get your estimated due date.
  4. Review the results and any additional information provided.

The calculator will provide you with your estimated due date, as well as information about the average pregnancy length and common milestones.

How the Calculator Works

The Expected Baby Delivery Date Calculator uses standard pregnancy calculations based on:

  • Last Menstrual Period (LMP) Method: The average pregnancy lasts 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of the last menstrual period.
  • Ultrasound Method: The due date is calculated based on the gestational age determined by ultrasound, minus 40 weeks.

Formula Used

For LMP method: Due Date = LMP Date + 280 days

For ultrasound method: Due Date = Ultrasound Date + (40 weeks - Gestational Age)

The calculator also provides information about common pregnancy milestones and what to expect during each trimester.

Example Calculation

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works. Suppose you had your last menstrual period on January 1, 2023.

  1. Enter January 1, 2023 as your LMP date.
  2. Select the LMP method.
  3. Click "Calculate".

The calculator will determine that your estimated due date is October 31, 2023 (280 days after January 1, 2023).

Note

Every pregnancy is different, and due dates can vary. This calculator provides an estimate based on average pregnancy lengths.
