Pregnancy prediction is an important tool for expectant parents to estimate their due date and understand their baby's development timeline. This free calculator helps you determine your due date based on your last menstrual period (LMP) or ultrasound date, providing a visual timeline of your pregnancy journey.
How to Use This Calculator
Using our baby prediction calculator is simple:
- Select whether you want to calculate based on your last menstrual period (LMP) or ultrasound date.
- Enter the relevant date in the provided field.
- Click "Calculate" to see your estimated due date and pregnancy timeline.
- Review the results and pregnancy timeline chart.
The calculator uses standard pregnancy duration of 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period or from the date of your ultrasound.
How Baby Prediction Works
Pregnancy prediction is based on the average length of a full-term pregnancy. The standard calculation adds 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period or to the date of your ultrasound.
Formula Used
Due Date = Last Menstrual Period (LMP) + 280 days
Or
Due Date = Ultrasound Date + 280 days
This calculation provides an estimate, as pregnancy lengths can vary. The first trimester is typically 12-14 weeks, the second trimester is 14-17 weeks, and the third trimester is 17-20 weeks.
Important Note
This calculator provides an estimate only. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.
