Pregnancy Due Date Calculator

Pregnancy is indeed a magical milestone in your life. The Pregnancy Due Date Calculator is essentially a dual-function calculator designed for expecting mothers. This resourceful tool not only estimates the due date of your unborn child but also calculates the number of weeks into your pregnancy you will be on any future date(1).
A typical pregnancy usually spans about 280 days, equivalent to 40 weeks, starting from the first day of your last menstrual period. This calculator uses this standard gestational period to provide you with an estimated timeline. A preterm or premature baby is delivered before 37 weeks of your pregnancy(2).
Get started by selecting the first day of your last menstrual cycle to know(3) and get the following results:

Date of conception

First Trimester (Date of finishing three months)

Second Trimester (Date of finishing six months)

Estimated date of delivery of the baby

    • Women younger than 30 have an 85% chance of conceiving within 1 year.
    • At the age of 30, there is a 75% chance of conceiving within the first 12 months.
    • This chance declines to 66% at the age of 35.
