Due date and pregnancy week calculator
A date to plan around, with room for uncertainty. Use the due date your maternity care team has given you whenever you have one.
Your dates, clearly explained
Choose a method and add your dates. No result is calculated until you ask.
Your calendar result
- Estimated due date
- Pregnancy weeks and days
This is calendar arithmetic, not a prediction of the day of birth. It does not change the date assigned by your care team.
A result beyond 40 weeks is a calendar count, not advice to wait or a judgment about your pregnancy. Follow your own care plan and contact your maternity care team with questions.
How the dates are counted
For a regular 28-day cycle, the period-based estimate is 280 calendar days from the first day of the last period (40 weeks). For a supported regular cycle, each day above or below 28 adds or subtracts one day. With an assigned due date, pregnancy age is counted using the exact 40- or 41-week convention you select. Other conventions are not supported.
Pregnancy weeks are counted from the dating baseline, not from a known conception date. This tool does not calculate when conception happened.
Keep your care team's date
A due date is an estimate, not a guaranteed birthday. This calculator cannot confirm pregnancy or replace clinical dating. Uncertain period dates, irregular cycles and variation in ovulation can make a period-based estimate less reliable. An ultrasound or fertility-treatment history may guide your care team's date. For IVF, use the date they assigned.
A result beyond 40 weeks is a calendar count, not advice to wait or a judgment about your pregnancy. Follow your own care plan and contact your maternity care team with questions.
