How This Calculator Works

The "When Was My Baby Born Calculator" uses standard pregnancy duration averages to estimate the birth date. Here's how the calculation works:

Formula

For Last Menstrual Period method:

Estimated Due Date = Last Menstrual Period + 280 days

For Ultrasound Date method:

Estimated Birth Date = Ultrasound Date - (Gestational Age in Weeks × 7 days)

The calculator assumes a standard pregnancy duration of 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of the last menstrual period. For the ultrasound method, it uses the gestational age provided to calculate the birth date.

Note: These calculations are estimates. Individual pregnancies may vary, and medical professionals should be consulted for precise information.

Examples

Let's look at some examples to understand how the calculator works in practice.

Example 1: Last Menstrual Period Method

If your last menstrual period was on January 1, 2023, the estimated due date would be:

January 1, 2023 + 280 days = October 7, 2023

This means your baby's estimated due date would be October 7, 2023.

Example 2: Ultrasound Date Method

If you had an ultrasound on September 1, 2023, and the baby was determined to be 32 weeks gestation, the estimated birth date would be:

September 1, 2023 - (32 weeks × 7 days) = January 26, 2024

This means your baby's estimated birth date would be January 26, 2024.
