Due Date Calculator

You’re pregnant! To find out what your estimated due date is, enter the first day of your most recent menstrual cycle below, and you will be able to follow your baby’s development by using the information provided by NWHIC throughout your pregnancy.

How your due date is calculated:
Your due date is estimated by adding 40 weeks (280 days) to the approximate date of conception. The date of conception is considered to be about 2 weeks after the first day of your last menstrual cycle. Only 5 percent of women deliver their babies on their projected due date, so this date should be used as an estimate — it is not an exact calculation.

Enter the first day of your last menstrual period below:
