Frequently asked questions

This calculator uses Naegele's rule: it adds 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) to estimate the due date.

It is an estimate. Only about 1 in 20 babies arrive on the exact due date; most are born within two weeks either side. An ultrasound dating scan can refine the estimate.

If your LMP is uncertain or your cycles are irregular, an early ultrasound is the most reliable way to date the pregnancy. Ask your doctor or midwife.

Counting from the LMP, the second trimester begins around week 14 and the third trimester around week 28. The calculator shows the approximate dates for your pregnancy.
