What is Due Date?

A due date is the estimated day your baby may arrive. It usually marks 40 weeks of pregnancy, counted from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). Your actual birth date can differ because pregnancy length varies for many pregnancies.

What Does Your Due Date Calculator Result Mean?

Your results show the estimated due date, EDD, gestational age, trimester, estimated conception date, and days remaining.

Estimated Due Date

Your estimated due date is the expected delivery date based on your selected dating method and the pregnancy information you entered.

Gestational Age

Gestational age shows how many weeks and days have passed since the first day of your LMP. It helps track pregnancy timing.

Trimester

Your trimester shows the current stage of pregnancy based on gestational age. It helps place fetal development within the pregnancy timeline.

Estimated Conception Date

The estimated conception date shows when fertilization most likely occurred. The calculator estimates it from your selected dating method.

Days Until Due Date

Days until due date shows the approximate time remaining before your estimated delivery date. It can help you track pregnancy timing.

How can you calculate due date?

Naegele's Rule

Due Date Formula: EDD=LMP+7days−3months+1yearEDD = LMP + 7 days - 3 months + 1 year.

Step by step guide

  1. Enter the first day of your last menstrual period.
  2. Check your cycle length if it differs from 28 days.
  3. Apply the 280 day pregnancy estimate.
  4. Review the estimated due date and gestational age.

Practical Example

If your LMP began on January 1, the standard estimate adds 280 days. The estimated due date falls around October 8. This example assumes a regular 28 day cycle.

Which Due Date Calculation Method Is Most Accurate?

No single method fits every pregnancy. LMP works well with regular cycles, while early ultrasound often helps when dates remain uncertain.

LMP Dating

LMP dating uses the first day of the last menstrual period and usually adds 280 days. It works best with a known LMP and regular cycles.

Conception Dating

Conception dating starts with a known conception date and adds about 266 days. It can help when the conception date is known more closely.

IVF Dating

IVF dating uses embryo transfer or treatment dates because conception timing is known more closely. Day 3 and Day 5 transfers use different calculations.

Ultrasound Dating

Ultrasound dating uses fetal measurements to estimate gestational age. Early scans can provide stronger dating when LMP information seems uncertain.

When Should Ultrasound Dating Be Preferred Over LMP?

Ultrasound dating can help when LMP information lacks accuracy, especially with irregular cycles or an unknown last menstrual period.

Early Pregnancy Ultrasound

Early pregnancy ultrasound can give a more reliable gestational age estimate, especially before later pregnancy growth creates wider dating variation.

Irregular Menstrual Cycles

Ultrasound can help when irregular cycles make LMP dating less reliable because ovulation may not occur around day 14 each cycle.

Unknown or Uncertain LMP

When you cannot recall your LMP, an early ultrasound can help establish pregnancy dating and provide a clearer gestational age estimate.

What If Your Menstrual Cycle Is Not 28 Days?

A 28 day cycle forms the standard LMP estimate. Longer or shorter cycles can shift ovulation and change the estimated due date.

Longer Menstrual Cycles

A longer menstrual cycle can shift ovulation later, so your due date may move later than the standard 28 day LMP estimate for most pregnancies.

Shorter Menstrual Cycles

A shorter menstrual cycle can shift ovulation earlier, so your due date may move earlier than the standard 28 day LMP estimate.

Irregular Periods

Irregular periods can make LMP dating less reliable because ovulation may vary from month to month and cycle length can change.

Gestational Age vs Fetal Age

Gestational age counts from the LMP, while fetal age counts from conception. The two measures differ by about two weeks.

What Is Gestational Age?

Gestational age counts pregnancy from the first day of the LMP. It helps clinicians describe pregnancy weeks and track fetal development.

What Is Fetal or Conceptional Age?

Fetal age, or conceptional age, counts from conception. It usually measures about two weeks less than gestational age.
