Due date calculator

Choose how to date the pregnancy. You get the estimated due date, how far along you are on the date you pick, and when each trimester starts. Only about 1 in 20 babies arrives on the due date itself.

How we worked it out

Updated as you change the numbers.

  1. Due date = last period + 280 days (Naegele’s rule).
  2. Weeks pregnant are counted from the first day of the last period (gestational age).

Method and assumptions

Pregnancy is dated from the first day of the last menstrual period: the due date is 280 days (40 weeks) later for a 28-day cycle, shifted by the difference for longer or shorter cycles. Conception usually happens about 14 days after the period starts, so the due date is 266 days after conception. For IVF, the transfer date plus 261 days (day-5 embryo) or 263 days (day-3) gives the same date.

Questions
