💡 Note: Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date. A pregnancy is considered "full term" anywhere from 37 to 42 weeks.

How Due Dates are Calculated

Most due dates are calculated using Naegele's Rule, which assumes a standard 28-day menstrual cycle with ovulation on day 14.

Due Date = First Day of Last Period + 280 days (40 weeks)

Or: LMP + 1 year - 3 months + 7 days

Factors That Can Change Your Due Date

  • Irregular Cycles: If your cycle is longer or shorter than 28 days, ovulation happens later or earlier.
  • Ultrasound Dating: A first-trimester ultrasound is often more accurate than LMP dating.
  • IVF Pregnancies: Due dates are calculated from the embryo transfer date.
⚠️ Medical Disclaimer: This calculator provides an estimate only. Always consult with your obstetrician or midwife for medical advice and precise dating.
