  1. Choose Last Period or Conception Date.
  2. Pick the date. If you use your last period, also enter your average cycle length (28 days is typical).
  3. Press Calculate Due Date.
  4. Read your due date, weeks pregnant and key dates. Share the result with your doctor or midwife.

How the Due Date Is Calculated

Due date = First day of last period + 280 days + (cycle length − 28)
Due date = Conception date + 266 days

Example: if the last period began on October 1, 2026 and the cycle is 28 days, the due date is Thursday, July 8, 2027. The second trimester begins at 14 weeks (January 7, 2027), the third at 28 weeks (April 15, 2027) and full term at 39 weeks (July 1, 2027). A conception date of October 15, 2026 gives the same due date. With a 32-day cycle the due date moves to July 12, 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the due date calculated?

The most common method adds 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period, which assumes a 28-day cycle. If your cycle is longer or shorter than 28 days, the calculator moves the date by the difference. From a conception date, it adds 266 days.

Why is pregnancy counted from my last period and not from conception?

Most people do not know the exact day of conception, but they usually know when their last period started. Conception normally happens about two weeks after that date, so pregnancy is dated from the period, and the weeks you hear about are counted the same way by doctors.

How accurate is the due date?

It is an estimate. Only a small share of babies are born on the exact due date, and most arrive within a few weeks before or after it. An early ultrasound can also adjust the date, so your doctor or midwife has the final say.

What are the trimesters?

The first trimester runs to the end of week 13, the second from week 14 to the end of week 27, and the third from week 28 until birth.

When is a pregnancy considered full term?

Full term is commonly defined as 39 weeks to 40 weeks and 6 days. Early term is 37 weeks to 38 weeks and 6 days. The key dates list shows when 39 weeks begins.

What if my cycles are irregular or I had IVF?

If your cycles are irregular, or you conceived with IVF or other fertility treatment, your care provider will use other information, such as an ultrasound or the embryo transfer date, to set your due date. Use this calculator only as a rough guide.
