For the most accurate results, use your confirmed last menstrual period date. If you're unsure, our calculator can estimate based on your conception date.

Understanding Pregnancy Timeline

A typical pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period. This period is divided into three trimesters:

First Trimester (Weeks 1-12): The foundation of your baby is formed. Key developments include organ formation, rapid growth, and the beginning of fetal movement.
Second Trimester (Weeks 13-28):strong> Your baby grows rapidly and becomes more active. You may start feeling your baby move and notice changes in your body.

Third Trimester (Weeks 29-40): Your baby prepares for birth. You'll experience rapid growth, weight gain, and preparation for delivery.

Formula: Due Date = Last Menstrual Period (LMP) + 280 days

For conception-based calculation: Due Date = Conception Date + 280 days

How Due Date is Calculated

Your due date is calculated based on the average length of a full-term pregnancy (40 weeks). Here's how it works:

Count back 3 days from your first day of your last menstrual period

Add 280 days (40 weeks) to this date

The result is your estimated due date

For example, if your last menstrual period started on January 1, 2023:

Subtract 3 days: December 29, 2022

Add 280 days: October 6, 2023

Remember that due dates are estimates. Every pregnancy is unique, and your baby may arrive earlier or later than the calculated date.
