What is the pregnancy due date calculator?
A pregnancy due date calculator estimates your Estimated Due Date (EDD) — when your baby is expected to arrive — based on your last menstrual period (LMP) or conception date. A full-term pregnancy lasts approximately 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of the last period.
Formula used
Naegele's Rule (standard method):
EDD = First day of LMP + 280 days
Adjusted for cycle length:
EDD = LMP + 280 + (cycle length − 28) days
Trimester boundaries:
First: Weeks 1–13
Second: Weeks 14–27
Third: Weeks 28–40+
How to use this calculator
- Select LMP method or Conception date method
- Enter the date (first day of last period, or conception date)
- Adjust cycle length if different from 28 days
- Click Calculate — see due date, current week, trimester, and days remaining
Example
Example — Standard 28-day cycle:
LMP: 1 January 2025 | Cycle: 28 days
EDD = 1 Jan + 280 days = 8 October 2025
Example — Longer cycle (32 days):
LMP: 1 January 2025 | Cycle: 32 days
EDD = 1 Jan + 280 + (32−28) = 1 Jan + 284 = 12 October 2025
Pregnancy milestones:
| Week | Milestone |
|---|---|
| Week 6–8 | Heartbeat detectable by ultrasound |
| Week 12 | End of first trimester, risk of miscarriage drops significantly |
| Week 20 | Anatomy scan / gender can be determined |
| Week 37 | Full term — safe for delivery |
| Week 40 | Due date |
Frequently asked questions
The calculator gives an estimate using Naegele's Rule. Only about 5% of babies arrive on their exact due date. A normal birth can occur anywhere from week 37 to 42. A first-trimester ultrasound provides the most accurate dating.
Use the Conception date method if you know approximately when you conceived — for example, from ovulation tracking, IVF transfer date, or an early positive test.
Yes. Your doctor may revise the EDD after a dating ultrasound, especially if it differs by more than 5–7 days from the LMP calculation.
