Online Baby Delivery Date Calculator

Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

Pregnancy is a special time, and knowing your estimated due date can help you plan for your baby's arrival. Our online baby delivery date calculator makes it easy to track your pregnancy progress by calculating your due date based on your last menstrual period (LMP) or ultrasound date.

How to Use This Calculator

Using our baby delivery date calculator is simple. Follow these steps:

  1. Select whether you want to calculate based on your last menstrual period (LMP) or ultrasound date.
  2. Enter the relevant date in the provided field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to see your estimated due date.

The calculator will display your estimated due date, pregnancy week, and month. You can also view a chart showing your pregnancy progress over time.

How the Calculator Works

The calculator uses standard pregnancy calculations:

Due Date = LMP Date + 280 days (40 weeks) OR Due Date = Ultrasound Date + (280 days - (gestation weeks × 7 days))

For LMP-based calculations, we add 280 days (40 weeks) to your last menstrual period date. For ultrasound-based calculations, we adjust based on the number of weeks your baby has been in the womb.

Note: These calculations are estimates. Your actual due date may vary. Always consult with your healthcare provider for the most accurate information.

Example Calculation

Let's say your last menstrual period was on January 1, 2023. Here's how the calculation works:

LMP Date: January 1, 2023 Due Date: January 1, 2023 + 280 days = September 8, 2023

Your estimated due date would be September 8, 2023. You would be in your 40th week of pregnancy on that date.

Important Notes

While our calculator provides a good estimate, remember these important points:

  • Pregnancy lengths vary naturally between 37 and 42 weeks.
  • Your healthcare provider will give you a more precise due date during prenatal visits.
  • Ultrasound dates are more accurate than LMP-based estimates.
  • Always consult with your doctor for medical advice.
