What Is a Pregnancy Due Date Calculator?

A pregnancy due date calculator estimates when your baby will arrive based on the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) or a known conception date. The standard calculation — called Naegele's Rule — adds 280 days (40 weeks) to your LMP date, producing an estimated due date that your OB-GYN will also use at your first prenatal appointment.

This tool also adjusts for non-standard cycle lengths, calculates your trimester start dates, and shows your current gestational week — giving you a complete picture from a single date entry. All calculations run locally in your browser; no health data is stored or transmitted.

How to Calculate Your Pregnancy Due Date

1
Enter the first day of your last menstrual period. Select the date your most recent period started. This is the starting point for the standard 40-week calculation.
2
Adjust your average cycle length. If your cycle is longer or shorter than the standard 28 days, adjust the cycle length so the estimated ovulation date — and therefore the due date — shifts accordingly.
3
Optionally enter a known conception date. If you know your conception date, enter it for a conception-based estimate that adds 266 days rather than 280.
4
Read your estimated due date and milestones. The calculator shows your estimated due date, trimester start dates, and your current gestational week.

Who Is This For?

  • Expectant parents estimating their due date before a first prenatal appointment — so you arrive at your OB-GYN already knowing your estimated week.
  • People tracking pregnancy milestones by week — including trimester transitions, the anatomy scan window (weeks 18–20), and third trimester onset.
  • Anyone doing cycle-based planning who wants to estimate a conception date window and work backward or forward to a projected due date.

Key Benefits

  • Runs in your browser. No personal health data is stored or transmitted — nothing leaves your device.
  • Completely free. No subscription, no paywall, no account required.
  • No account needed. Works instantly — open the page and enter one date.
  • Shows trimester dates and gestational week. Not just a due date — the full pregnancy timeline so you always know which milestone is coming next.

Common Use Cases

Before your first prenatal appointment. Get an early due date estimate to share with your doctor and use as a reference before your dating ultrasound confirms the date.

Tracking trimester transitions. Know exactly when your second trimester starts, when the anatomy scan window opens, and when the third trimester begins — plan appointments and conversations around these milestones.

Cycle-based planning. Enter a hypothetical LMP date to estimate when a baby conceived in a given cycle would be due — useful for family planning timelines.

How Is a Pregnancy Due Date Calculated?

The standard method for calculating a baby's arrival is based on Naegele's Rule. This math assumes that a pregnancy lasts exactly 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). While this is the industry standard for OBGYNs, this Pregnancy Due Date Calculator also allows you to adjust for your unique cycle length, providing a more personalized estimate.

Understanding Your Trimesters

Pregnancy is divided into three distinct phases, each roughly 12–14 weeks long. This tool calculates these dates automatically:

  • First Trimester (Week 1–12): A time of rapid cellular development. Most women discover they are pregnant during this phase.
  • Second Trimester (Week 13–26): Often called the "honeymoon phase," as morning sickness usually fades and energy returns.
  • Third Trimester (Week 27–40+): The final stretch where the baby finishes growing and prepares for the outside world.

The 'Due Month' Reality

It's best to think of your due date as a "due month." Only 1 in 20 women deliver exactly on their estimated date. Most healthy, full-term babies are born anywhere between 37 and 42 weeks.

3 Tips for Early Pregnancy

  1. Start Prenatal Vitamins: Folic acid is critical in the first few weeks for neural tube development. Consult your doctor immediately to find the right supplement.
  2. Track Your Symptoms: Keep a log of your energy levels, cravings, and any spotting. This data is incredibly helpful for your first prenatal appointment.
  3. Verify with Ultrasound: While LMP math is great, a "dating scan" (ultrasound) performed between weeks 8 and 12 is considered the most accurate way to confirm a due date.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pregnancy due date calculator?
A pregnancy due date calculator estimates when your baby will arrive based on the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) or a known conception date. It uses Naegele's Rule — adding 280 days (40 weeks) to the LMP — to produce an estimated due date, the same method your OB-GYN uses at a first prenatal appointment.
Is this pregnancy calculator free?
Yes, completely free. It runs entirely in your browser — no account required, no personal health data stored, and no subscription needed. Your dates never leave your device.
How is a due date calculated?
The standard method is Naegele's Rule: add 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period. This assumes a standard 28-day cycle where ovulation occurs around day 14. If your cycle is longer or shorter, the estimated due date shifts accordingly. A conception-based calculation adds 266 days from the estimated date of conception instead.
How accurate is a due date calculation?
Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact estimated due date. Most healthy, full-term babies are born within two weeks before or after the calculated date — anywhere between 37 and 42 weeks of gestation. The calculation is an estimate, not a prediction. A dating ultrasound performed between weeks 8 and 12 is considered the most accurate way to confirm a due date.
What is the difference between gestational age and fetal age?
Gestational age counts from the first day of your last menstrual period — so at the moment of conception, you are already counted as approximately 2 weeks pregnant. Fetal age (also called embryonic age) counts from the actual date of conception and is approximately 2 weeks less than gestational age. Doctors and midwives use gestational age as the standard.
