⚡ Quick Answer
Pregnancy lasts approximately 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of the last menstrual period. To calculate your due date: add 280 days to the first day of your last period. Alternatively, add 9 months and 7 days. Week 40 is the estimated due date, but normal delivery occurs between 37 and 42 weeks.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the due date calculation?
Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date. Most births occur between 37-42 weeks (term pregnancy). The due date is a 40-week estimate from LMP, which assumes a 28-day cycle and ovulation on day 14. Ultrasound dating in the first trimester is generally more accurate. Your due date is an estimate, not a deadline.
What are the three trimesters?
First trimester: weeks 1-12. Major organ development occurs. Morning sickness common. Highest miscarriage risk. Second trimester: weeks 13-27. Baby movements felt. Most women feel better. Major growth period. Third trimester: weeks 28-40+. Rapid weight gain. Preparation for birth. Baby positions for delivery.
