About Pregnancy Due Date

Due dates are typically estimated from the first day of the last menstrual period using Naegele's rule, assuming a 28-day cycle with ovulation around day 14. Ultrasound dating by a clinician is more accurate when available.

Only about 5% of babies arrive on the exact estimated date; a window of several weeks is normal.

CalculatorCamp provides an educational LMP-based estimate. Always follow obstetric care and ultrasound guidance for medical decisions.

How to use this tool

Enter the first day of your last period and cycle length if the form allows. Calculate to see estimated due date and gestational age if shown.

Formula & methodology

This pregnancy due date calculator applies the standard relationship below. Intermediate values are kept at full precision; only the displayed result is rounded.

Due date ~ LMP + 280 days (40 weeks) for standard 28-day cycle adjustments

Tips for accurate results

  • Confirm pregnancy and dating with a healthcare provider early.
  • Irregular cycles make LMP dating less reliable—ultrasound helps.
  • Track prenatal appointments rather than relying on online dates alone.
  • Seek urgent care for bleeding, severe pain, or reduced fetal movement.
