How to Use the Due Date Calculator?

Using our Due Date Calculator is easy! Simply enter the relevant information, i.e. your Last Menstrual Date and Cycle. Our calculator will then provide you with an estimated due date based on the method you choose.

If you choose to use your LMP, the calculator will assume a 28-day menstrual cycle and add 280 days to your LMP to determine your due date.

It's important to note that due dates are only estimates, and only about 5% of babies are actually born on their due date. Most babies arrive within two weeks before or after the estimated due date.

Why Use a Due Date Calculator?

Understanding your due date is not just a matter of anticipation, it's a crucial tool for monitoring your pregnancy progress and ensuring your baby's health. Healthcare providers use due dates to track fetal development, schedule prenatal appointments, and anticipate potential complications. By having a general idea of when your baby is due, you can make necessary arrangements, such as preparing your home, planning for maternity leave, and arranging childcare if needed.

Common Questions About Due Dates

What if my cycle is not 28 days long?

If your cycle is longer or shorter than 28 days, your due date may be slightly different. For a more accurate estimate based on your specific cycle length, it's important to consult your healthcare provider.

How accurate are due date calculators?

Our Due Date Calculator is based on a period cycle as cycles can vary from 20 to 45 days, and your period and ovulation are considered to be the first 2 weeks of pregnancy. As this method is affected by the regularity of your menstrual cycle, the due date predictor is not 100% accurate and should be used as a guide rather than a definitive prediction.

What if I have irregular periods?

If you have irregular periods or are unsure of your LMP, it's best to consult your healthcare provider. They can conduct an ultrasound or other tests to find a more accurate due date based on fetal development.

Can the due date change during pregnancy?

Yes, your due date may be adjusted based on ultrasound measurements or if your healthcare provider determines that your baby is growing at a different rate than expected.

Remember, every pregnancy is unique, and it's important to work closely with your healthcare provider to monitor your baby's development and ensure a healthy pregnancy.
