Pregnant? This is how you calculate your due date!

Congratulations, you're pregnant! One of the first things you probably want to know is when your baby is due. The due date, also known as the delivery date, is an estimate of the day your baby will be born. Calculating your due date can be an exciting step in your pregnancy journey. But how do you actually do that? In this blog post we show you how to calculate your due date and share useful resources and apps for extra guidance and information during your pregnancy.

How do you calculate your due date?

The most common method to calculate your due date is to take the first day of your last menstrual period (FDLM) and add 280 days. This method is known as Naegele's rule and is based on an average cycle length of 28 days, with ovulation on day 14.

Steps to calculate your due date:

  • Write down the first day of your last menstrual period.
  • Add 7 days to this.
  • Then add 9 months to the date you noted.
  • Add another seven days to this and you have your expected delivery date.
  • That is your provisional due date!

For example: Suppose the first day of your last period was November 4. Then add nine months to this and you arrive at August 4. If you add another seven days to this, you will find that August 11 is your expected delivery date.

Please note that this is an estimate only and the actual delivery date may vary. Your obstetrician or gynecologist will be able to give you more information about your specific situation and your exact due date during your pregnancy.

Useful resources and apps:
