Calculating Due Date or Conception Date
Calculating due date or conception date to estimate your baby's arrival is a snap with the Pregnancy Concention Calculator. Remember that a due date is a rough estimate at best: only about 1% of all babies are born on their due dates.
Pregnancies are considered to be full-term after 37 weeks. However, many pregnancies worldwide average 42 weeks, so there is a wide range in which to anticipate your baby. First pregnancies are usually a bit longer than subsequent pregnancies and often go over 40 weeks. Since one of the first questions you hear when you're pregnant is "When are you due?", some women prefer to give their due month.
Understanding the Pregnancy Due
Date Calculator
- Last Menstrual Period:
Enter the first day of your last period.
- Average Length of Cycles:
This is the usual length of your cycle from the first day of your
period to the day before your next begins. The average is 28
days; however, when calculating a due date significantly longer or
shorter cycles will increase or decrease your due date. If
you are unsure, use the default setting of 28 days.
- Average Luteal Phase Length: This is the interval after ovulation to the beginning of your next period. If you do not track your cycles through BBT or ovulation predictors, you may not know your luteal phase length. The average luteal phase length is 14 days but the normal range is between 11-16 days.
The
Pregnancy Due Date Calculator is useful for calculating due date and
conception date as well as fetal age. The conception date is
the day before your luteal phase begins. The estimated due date is the
rough estimate of when to expect your baby. The last value, the
estimated fetal age, indicates the developmental level of
your baby. Remember when calculating due date or conception
date, these are estimates. Your baby will arrive in its own
time. Good things come to those who wait...
