Important

This calculator provides estimates only and should not replace medical advice. Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date. Your healthcare provider will confirm your due date. Ultrasound dating (especially first trimester) is most accurate. If you have irregular cycles, LMP-based calculations may be less accurate. This tool is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

The Formula

LMP: Due Date = LMP + 280 days Conception: Due Date = Conception + 266 days Ultrasound: remaining days to 280 added to scan date IVF Day 5: Transfer + 261 days

Tips & Strategies

Quick tip. Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date.

Quick tip. First trimester ultrasound is the most accurate dating method.

Quick tip. Your healthcare provider will confirm your due date at your first visit.

If you have irregular cycles. LMP-based due dates may be less accurate.

Cross-check when the decision matters. Run a second scenario with rounded inputs or a different path to the same quantity so you do not rely on a single fragile chain of arithmetic.

🎉 Fun Facts

  • Naegele's Rule (LMP + 280 days) dates to 1812 and was named after German obstetrician Franz Naegele.
  • The 40-week pregnancy is measured from the first day of your last period, so you're "2 weeks pregnant" at conception.
  • Full term is 37-42 weeks; most babies arrive between 39-41 weeks.
  • IVF pregnancies are dated from embryo age, making due dates very precise.
