Calculate Due Date

Calculate your baby's estimated due date using Naegele's rule.

How is the due date calculated?

The due date is calculated using Naegele's rule: First day of last period + 280 days (40 weeks). If your cycle is shorter or longer than 28 days, the difference is taken into account.

Only about 4% of babies arrive on their due date. Most are born within a window of 2 weeks before to 2 weeks after the date.

This calculator does not replace a medical calculation. The actual date is confirmed by ultrasound.
