Everything you need to know about pregnancy due date calculations

How a due date is typically estimated

The most common method estimates a due date as 40 weeks from the first day of the last menstrual period โ€” a standard convention used as a starting estimate, not a guarantee, since only a small percentage of births happen exactly on the calculated date.

An important note

This tool provides a general estimate for informational purposes โ€” it isn't a substitute for guidance from a doctor or midwife, who can refine timing using an ultrasound and your specific medical history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why 280 days specifically?

280 days (40 weeks) from the last menstrual period is the standard clinical convention for estimating a due date, even though actual ovulation and conception happen roughly two weeks into that window.

How are the trimesters defined here?

Weeks 1 through 12 are the first trimester, weeks 13 through 26 are the second, and week 27 onward is the third โ€” the commonly used breakdown, though exact boundaries can vary slightly by source.

Is this a substitute for a doctor's estimate?

No โ€” this is a quick estimate based on a standard formula. Your doctor's estimate, especially one based on an ultrasound, is more accurate for your specific pregnancy.

Does this tool send my date to a server?

Yes โ€” the date is sent to our servers to compute the result and the result is returned to you; we don't store it.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes โ€” completely free, with no signup required.
