Pregnancy Due Date Guide

How It Works

This calculator estimates your Expected Delivery Date (EDD) based on the first day of your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). It follows the standard medical rule of adding 280 days to your LMP.

The Formula
EDD = LMP + 280 Days
Gestation Period
40 Weeks (approx. 9 Months + 7 Days)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is this calculator 100% accurate?

No, it provides an estimate. Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date. Most arrive within 2 weeks before or after.

Q2: What is LMP?

LMP stands for Last Menstrual Period. It refers to the very first day your last period started.

Q3: Can an ultrasound change my due date?

Yes. Early ultrasounds (dating scans) are often more accurate than LMP calculations and your doctor may revise your date based on the baby’s size.

Q4: Is 40 weeks the standard?

Yes, a full-term pregnancy is considered 40 weeks. However, anything from 37 to 42 weeks is generally considered a healthy delivery window.
