Quick guide
How to use this calculator
- Use the labels and unit notes to enter the requested measurement, date, time, or observation exactly as recorded.
- Check the visible method, population, and unit basis before using the result; switch modes rather than converting values mentally.
- Read the calculation audit and limitations together. The result supports measurement or tracking and does not replace diagnosis, treatment, or urgent medical assessment.
Calculation method
How the pregnancy due date calculator works
LMP estimate = first LMP day + 280 days + (entered cycle length − 28 days); known-conception estimate = conception date + 266 days.
The calculated date is an estimate, not a prediction of the delivery day. A clinician's best obstetric estimate may use early ultrasound, assisted-reproduction dates, and clinical reconciliation.
Worked example
Pregnancy Due Date example
An LMP beginning 1 January with a 28-day cycle gives an estimated due date 280 days later. A chosen reference date can then be expressed as completed weeks plus days.
LMP estimate = first LMP day + 280 days + (entered cycle length − 28 days); known-conception estimate = conception date + 266 days.
Supported inputs
Precision and limits
Supported purpose
Cycle adjustment is transparent arithmetic, not part of ACOG's best-estimate redating rules. Do not use this calculator to replace prenatal care, assess fetal growth, time an urgent symptom, or change an established clinical due date.
Measurement quality
The output is only as reliable as the entered measurement, device, timing, units, and applicable reference population. Recheck unexpected values against the original record.
Clinical boundary
This calculator does not diagnose a condition, choose treatment, change medication, or determine that an urgent symptom is safe to monitor at home. Contact an appropriate health professional or local emergency service when the situation may be urgent.
