How Due Dates Are Calculated

The most common method is Naegele's rule: add 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period. This assumes a 28-day cycle with ovulation around day 14. If your cycle is longer or shorter, the calculation adjusts accordingly.

Due Date = LMP + 280 days (adjusted for cycle length)
Or: Due Date = Conception Date + 266 days

Frequently Asked Questions

How is my due date calculated?
The standard method (Naegele's rule) adds 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). This assumes a 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14.
How accurate is the due date?
Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date. Most arrive within two weeks before or after. The due date is an estimate, not a deadline.
Can I calculate my due date from conception date?
Yes. If you know your conception date, add 266 days (38 weeks). This is more accurate than LMP if you track ovulation.
What are the three trimesters?
First trimester: weeks 1–13. Second trimester: weeks 14–27. Third trimester: weeks 28–40+. Each has different milestones and symptoms.
When should I take a pregnancy test?
Take a home pregnancy test on or after the first day of your missed period (about 4 weeks pregnant). Blood tests can detect pregnancy 7–10 days after conception.
