How the Due Date Calculation Works

The due date calculation is based on standard pregnancy duration assumptions. Here's how it works:

Formula Used

When using the last menstrual period (LMP) method:

Due Date = LMP Date + 280 days

This formula adds 40 weeks (280 days) to the first day of your last menstrual period to estimate your due date.

When using the ultrasound date method:

Due Date = Ultrasound Date + (40 weeks - Gestational Age)

This formula calculates the remaining weeks of pregnancy based on your ultrasound results.

Assumptions

The calculator makes the following assumptions:

Pregnancy lasts exactly 40 weeks from the first day of the last menstrual period.
Ultrasound dates are accurate and reflect the true gestational age.
There are no complications that might affect the pregnancy duration.

These assumptions are based on standard medical guidelines, but individual pregnancies may vary.

The calculator provides an estimate based on these assumptions. For precise information, consult with your healthcare provider.

Example Calculation

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

Enter "January 1, 2023" as your last menstrual period date.
Click "Calculate".
The calculator will add 280 days to January 1, 2023.
The result will show your estimated due date as October 8, 2023.

This example demonstrates how the calculator estimates your due date based on standard pregnancy duration.
