How It Works

Our Pregnancy Due Date Calculator helps you estimate your baby's arrival date, a crucial piece of information for planning and preparing for parenthood. Knowing your due date allows you to track trimester milestones, schedule prenatal appointments, and anticipate important health checks throughout 2026. This tool provides an estimated due date based on your last menstrual period, conception date, or IVF transfer date.

The calculator primarily uses Naegele's Rule for last menstrual period (LMP) calculations, which adds 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last period. For conception dates, it adds 266 days (38 weeks) from the estimated date of fertilization. For IVF transfers, it adds 266 days minus the age of the embryo at transfer (e.g., for a 5-day blastocyst, it adds 261 days) to the transfer date.

Remember that due dates are estimates, and only about 5% of babies are born exactly on their due date. Factors like irregular periods can make LMP-based calculations less accurate, so always confirm with your healthcare provider. Avoid solely relying on this calculator for medical advice; it's a planning tool.

Example: Calculating a Due Date from a Last Menstrual Period in 2026

  1. 1 A user enters their Last Menstrual Period (LMP) start date as March 15, 2026.
  2. 2 The calculator adds 280 days (40 weeks) to March 15, 2026.
  3. 3 The estimated due date is December 20, 2026.
  4. 4 This due date helps the user anticipate their first trimester ending around June 15, 2026, and their second trimester ending around September 15, 2026, allowing them to plan appointments and preparations accordingly.

The most common method adds 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date. Most arrive within 2 weeks before or after.
How accurate is a due date calculator?
Due dates are estimates. Only 5% of babies arrive on the exact date. About 80% are born between weeks 38 and 42. Ultrasound dating in the first trimester is more accurate than LMP-based calculations.
