Pregnancy Due Date Calculator

Estimate a pregnancy due date from the last period or conception date.

An estimated arrival window

A due date estimates when a baby is likely to arrive, calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period or a known conception date, based on a typical pregnancy length. This gives that estimated date as a reference point for a pregnancy.

An estimate, and babies keep their own time

A due date is genuinely an estimate, not a deadline — only a small share of babies arrive exactly on it, and a normal, healthy birth can happen across a window of a couple of weeks either side. The standard calculation assumes a typical cycle length and pregnancy duration, so it can be off for individual variation, which is why a healthcare provider often adjusts the date using an early ultrasound. It is a useful anchor for planning and for tracking a pregnancy, understood as an approximate window rather than a fixed day. This is general information, not medical advice; pregnancy care and dating are matters for your healthcare provider.
