How Our Calculator Works

Understanding pregnancy due date calculations

Last Menstrual Period (LMP)

The most common method adds 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period. This assumes a 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14. We adjust for different cycle lengths.

Conception Date

If you know when conception occurred, we add 266 days (38 weeks) to estimate your due date. This method is more accurate for women who track ovulation or have irregular cycles.

IVF Transfer Date

For IVF pregnancies, we calculate based on the transfer date: Day 3 transfer + 263 days, or Day 5 transfer + 261 days for the most accurate results.

Important Pregnancy Milestones

Track your baby's development week by week throughout your pregnancy journey

Week 4-6

Heartbeat Begins

Your baby's heart starts beating around week 5-6. This tiny heartbeat can be detected via ultrasound, marking an exciting first milestone.

Week 12

End of First Trimester

All major organs have formed. The risk of miscarriage drops significantly. Many parents choose to announce their pregnancy at this stage.

Week 16-20

Feel Baby Move

First movements (quickening) are felt, usually between 16-22 weeks. These gentle flutters soon become recognizable kicks and rolls.

Week 20

Anatomy Scan

Detailed mid-pregnancy ultrasound checks baby's development. Gender can often be revealed if parents wish to know.

Week 28

Third Trimester

Final stretch begins! Baby's brain develops rapidly, and they start to regulate their own body temperature.

Week 37-40

Full Term

Baby is fully developed and ready for birth. Most babies are born between 37-42 weeks. The big day is near!
