Frequently asked questions
By Naegele’s rule: roughly 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of your last menstrual period, adjusted if your cycle is longer or shorter than 28 days.
It is an estimate. Only about 1 in 20 babies arrive on the exact date, and a normal full-term birth is anywhere from 37 to 42 weeks. An early ultrasound dates a pregnancy more accurately than the last period.
Enter your average cycle length and the tool shifts the estimate accordingly, because ovulation (and so conception) happens later in longer cycles and earlier in shorter ones.
The first trimester is weeks 1–13, the second 14–27, and the third 28 to birth. The tool shows which one you are in and how far along you are in weeks and days.
This version works from the last period. If you conceived via IVF or know your exact conception date, your clinic’s dating will be more precise — use theirs. This tool gives general information for education, not medical advice; always follow your midwife, doctor or other qualified healthcare professional.
About the Pregnancy Due Date Calculator
This tool estimates when your baby is due and turns that into a clear picture of your pregnancy: how many weeks and days along you are, which trimester you are in, how far you have progressed through the 40-week journey, your approximate conception date, what is developing this week, and a typical antenatal appointment schedule — all downloadable to share with your midwife.
How the estimate works
It uses Naegele’s rule, the long-standing clinical method: about 280 days from the first day of your last menstrual period. Because that assumes a 28-day cycle with ovulation around day 14, the tool adjusts the date if your cycle is longer or shorter, since conception shifts with ovulation. The result is a best estimate, not a deadline — only around 5% of babies arrive exactly on the due date, and births anywhere between 37 and 42 weeks are considered full term.
More than a date
Knowing the date is only part of it. The tool places you on a 40-week timeline split into trimesters, counts down the days remaining, and shows a short, accurate note on what is developing in your baby this week. It also lays out the typical schedule of antenatal checks — booking appointment, dating and anomaly scans, and the later growth and wellbeing visits — so you know roughly what to expect and when.
Use it alongside your care, not instead of it
An ultrasound gives more accurate dating than the last period, especially if your cycles are irregular, so your provider’s date takes precedence over any calculator. This tool gives general information for education, not medical advice; always follow your midwife, doctor or other qualified healthcare professional. Pair this with the Ovulation Calculator if you are still trying to conceive, or the Pregnancy Weight Gain Calculator once your pregnancy is confirmed.
