Calculate your due date

Choose the details you know.

Count from the first day of one period to the first day of the next. Not sure? Leave it at 28.

Estimates only – your doctor may adjust dates after an ultrasound.

Pregnancy in numbers

Four facts that explain almost everything a pregnancy calculator tells you.

280days in a typical pregnancy

Counted from the first day of your last period – that’s 40 weeks, or about 9 months and 1 week.

~4%born on the due date

Most babies arrive in the five weeks between 37 and 42 weeks. Think of your due date as a due month.

3trimesters

Weeks 1–13, 14–27 and 28 to birth – each with its own changes, scans and to-dos.

8+antenatal contacts advised

The WHO recommends at least eight check-ups; free visits are available under PMSMA in India.

How the pregnancy calculator works

Behind the simple form is the same arithmetic your gynaecologist uses.

Pick what you know

Your last period is enough for most people. Had IVF or a dating scan? Use those for extra precision.

We find your “day 0”

Every method is converted to an LMP-equivalent date, then 280 days are added for your due date – adjusted for your cycle length.

Understanding your results

Due date (EDD)

Your estimated date of delivery is when you reach 40 weeks 0 days. Think of it as the centre of a window: babies born from 37 to 42 weeks are within the normal range, and only a small minority arrive on the day itself.

Weeks + days

Doctors write gestational age as “12w 3d” or “12+3” – 12 complete weeks plus 3 days, counted from the first day of your last period. At 12+3 you are in your 13th week.

Trimesters and months

StageWeeksMonths
● First trimester1–131–3
● Second trimester14–274–6
● Third trimester28–40+7–9

The two-week head start

Because counting starts at your last period, you are already “2 weeks pregnant” when you conceive and about 4 weeks pregnant when your period is missed. Read more in how pregnancy is calculated.

Conception date

The calculator estimates conception as your likely ovulation day. Because sperm can survive up to five days, the pregnancy could have begun from intercourse on any day of the fertile window – so treat it as a range, not an exact date.

Had an early scan? If it gave a different due date, use the Ultrasound or Due date tab so everything matches your doctor’s dates.

How big is your baby?

From a lentil to a jackfruit – your baby’s approximate size at key weeks, compared with everyday Indian fruits and vegetables.

Average sizes; length is crown-to-rump until 20 weeks and head-to-heel after that. Every baby grows at their own pace.

The three trimesters, explained

What’s happening with your baby, what you may feel, and what to do in each stage.

Weeks 1–13

First trimester

Your baby

Every major organ forms. The heart starts beating around week 6, and by week 13 your baby is about 7 cm long, with fingers, toes and working reflexes.

Your body

Nausea, tiredness, sore breasts and frequent urination are common, driven by rising hCG and progesterone.

To-do list

  • Confirm pregnancy and register (MCP card)
  • Folic acid 400 mcg daily
  • Dating scan and routine blood tests
  • NT scan + double marker at 11–13+6 weeks
  • Avoid alcohol, tobacco and unprescribed medicines
Weeks 14–27

Second trimester

Your baby

Your baby grows from about 9 cm to 37 cm, starts to hear, swallows amniotic fluid and settles into sleep–wake cycles.

Your body

Energy returns and the bump shows. You’ll feel first movements, and may notice backache, heartburn or leg cramps.

To-do list

  • Iron-folic acid and calcium tablets daily
  • Anomaly scan at 18–22 weeks
  • Glucose tolerance test at 24–28 weeks
  • Start pelvic floor exercises
  • Sleep on your side
Week 28 to birth

Third trimester

Your baby

Your baby gains most of their birth weight, the lungs and brain mature, and most turn head-down by about 36 weeks.

Your body

Breathlessness, swelling, poor sleep and Braxton Hicks tightenings are common. Visits become more frequent.

To-do list

  • Notice baby’s movements every day
  • Tdap/Td vaccine and anti-D if Rh-negative
  • Growth scan as advised
  • Pack your hospital bag by 36 weeks
  • Learn the signs of labour

Changing bra size during pregnancy

Your breasts often grow by one or two cup sizes during pregnancy, and change again once your milk comes in. A well-fitting bra eases tenderness, supports your back and makes night feeds more comfortable. Measure again each trimester and once more after birth.

Call your doctor straight away if you have

  • Vaginal bleeding or a gush or trickle of fluid
  • Severe abdominal pain, or one-sided pain in early pregnancy
  • Severe headache, blurred vision, or sudden swelling of face and hands
  • Your baby moving less than usual, or a change in the pattern
  • Fever, burning urine, or vomiting that stops you keeping fluids down
  • Regular tightenings or period-like pain before 37 weeks

Emergency: call 108 (ambulance) or 102 (free pregnancy transport in most states).

Pregnancy care in India: good to know

  • Register early with your ASHA worker, Anganwadi or health centre to get your Mother & Child Protection (MCP) card.
  • Free check-ups on the 9th of every month at government facilities under PMSMA.
  • Free delivery, including caesarean, medicines, tests, food and transport, in public hospitals under JSSK.
  • Iron-folic acid for at least 180 days from the second trimester helps prevent anaemia.
  • Sex determination is illegal under the PCPNDT Act – every child is equally welcome.

Pregnancy words, decoded

The terms you’ll see on scan reports and antenatal cards, in plain language.

LMP
Last menstrual period – specifically its first day. The starting point for dating a pregnancy.
EDD
Estimated date of delivery – the day you reach 40 weeks. Also called the due date.
Gestational age (GA)
How far along a pregnancy is, in weeks and days from the LMP, written like 20w 3d or 20+3.
hCG
Human chorionic gonadotropin – the hormone detected by pregnancy tests, made by the developing placenta.
CRL
Crown-rump length – the baby’s length measured on an early scan, used to date the pregnancy accurately.
NT scan
Nuchal translucency scan at 11–13+6 weeks that, with blood tests, screens for chromosomal conditions.

OGTT
Oral glucose tolerance test – screens for gestational diabetes, usually at 24–28 weeks.
Braxton Hicks
Irregular, usually painless ‘practice’ tightenings of the uterus from mid-pregnancy.

Frequently asked questions

How does this pregnancy calculator work?

It uses the same rules doctors use. From your last period it adds 280 days (40 weeks), adjusting for your cycle length. From a conception date it adds 266 days; from an IVF transfer it adds 266 days minus the embryo’s age; and from an ultrasound it counts forward from the gestational age on your scan report.

How accurate is a pregnancy calculator?

The maths is exact, but every due date is an estimate: only about 4–5% of babies are born on their due date, and most arrive within two weeks either side. A first-trimester ultrasound is the most accurate way to date a pregnancy.

How many weeks pregnant am I?

Enter the first day of your last period above. The calculator shows how many weeks and days pregnant you are today, which trimester and month you’re in, and links to what’s happening this week.

Why am I ‘2 weeks pregnant’ when I conceived?

Pregnancy is dated from the first day of your last period, which is roughly two weeks before ovulation and conception. This shared starting point is used for every scan chart and due date.

How many days is a full-term pregnancy?

The standard is 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of the last period, or about 266 days from conception. Any birth from 37 weeks 0 days is considered term.

When will I hear my baby’s heartbeat?

A flickering heartbeat is often visible on a transvaginal scan from about 6–7 weeks. It can usually be heard with a hand-held Doppler from around 10–12 weeks.

When will I feel my baby move?

Most first-time mothers feel the first flutters between 18 and 22 weeks; those who have been pregnant before often notice them earlier, from about 16 weeks.

What if my periods are irregular?

Choose your usual cycle length for a rough estimate, then use the Ultrasound tab once you have a dating scan – it’s far more accurate for irregular cycles or PCOS.

Can I use this calculator after IVF?

Yes. Choose the IVF tab and enter your embryo transfer date and whether it was a day-3, day-5 or day-6 embryo. It works for fresh and frozen transfers.

Can this calculator tell me my baby’s gender?

No. No calculator can predict a baby’s sex, and prenatal sex determination is illegal in India under the PCPNDT Act. We focus on dates and your baby’s development instead.

Is my data safe?

Yes. All calculations happen in your browser. We never see, store or share the dates you enter.

Does this replace my doctor’s advice?

No. The calculator helps you understand your dates and plan ahead, but your doctor’s dates and advice always come first – especially if they have adjusted your due date after a scan.
