Most babies arrive within this window

Fewer than 5 percent of babies are born on their estimated due date, and about 80 percent arrive within two weeks either side. A first-trimester dating scan is more accurate than any date-based calculation. This is a planning date, not a deadline, and not a substitute for antenatal care.

Quick Tool Overview

The Due Date Calculator estimates when a baby is due from whichever information you have — last menstrual period, conception date, IVF transfer or a dating scan. It corrects for cycle length, which standard formulas ignore, and lays out every milestone along the way.

About the Due Date Calculator

Estimate a due date from whichever information you have: the first day of your last menstrual period, a known conception date, an IVF transfer, or a dating scan. Each method is supported directly rather than making you convert between them first.

The default calculation is Naegele's rule — 280 days from the first day of your last period — adjusted for cycle length, which matters more than most calculators admit. Naegele assumes a 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14, so a woman with a 35-day cycle is dated a week early unless the tool corrects for it. Fewer than one baby in twenty arrives on the estimated date, and a first-trimester scan is more accurate than any calculation, so treat this as a planning date rather than a deadline.

Key features of the Due Date Calculator

Four dating methods

Last period, conception date, IVF transfer day and scan-based dating are each handled directly rather than converted by hand.

Cycle length correction

Naegele's rule assumes a 28-day cycle, so a 35-day cycle is dated a week early unless corrected — this tool corrects it.

IVF dating done properly

A day-5 transfer is dated 261 days out and a day-3 transfer 263, which is the most precise dating available.

Full milestone timeline

Trimester boundaries, viability, full term and post-term dates, so the due date has context around it.

Honest about accuracy

Fewer than 5 percent of babies arrive on the estimated date, and the page says so.

How to use the Due Date Calculator

  1. 1

    Pick your starting point

    Last menstrual period, conception date, IVF transfer day, or a scan measurement.

  2. 2

    Enter the date

    For the LMP method, use the first day of bleeding rather than the last.

  3. 3

    Adjust your cycle length

    If your cycle is not 28 days, correcting for it can move the due date by a week.

  4. 4

    Read the timeline

    Due date, current gestational age, trimester dates and the milestones along the way.

Frequently asked questions

Naegele's rule adds 280 days — 40 weeks — to the first day of your last menstrual period. Where the conception date is known, the due date is 266 days from conception instead.
