| From: | To: |
The Due Date Calculator estimates the expected delivery date for a pregnancy at 7 weeks gestation. It calculates how many days remain until the full 40-week term and provides the projected due date.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculation determines how many weeks remain until the due date (40 - 7 = 33 weeks) and converts this to days (33 × 7 = 231 days), then adds these days to the current date.
Details: Accurate due date estimation is crucial for prenatal care planning, monitoring fetal development milestones, scheduling important tests, and preparing for delivery.
Tips: Enter the current date when you are exactly 7 weeks pregnant. The calculator will provide the estimated due date based on a standard 40-week pregnancy timeline.
Q1: How accurate is this due date calculation?
A: This provides an estimate based on standard pregnancy duration. Actual delivery dates may vary by ±2 weeks from the calculated due date.
Q2: What if my pregnancy is measured from LMP instead of conception?
A: This calculation assumes standard pregnancy dating. Consult with your healthcare provider for the most accurate due date based on your specific situation.
Q3: Can this calculator be used for IVF pregnancies?
A: For IVF pregnancies, due dates are typically calculated from the embryo transfer date. Consult your fertility specialist for precise dating.
Q4: What should I do if my due date changes after ultrasound?
A: Always follow the due date provided by your healthcare provider, as ultrasound measurements can provide more accurate gestational age assessment.
Q5: How does this account for irregular cycles?
A: This calculator uses a standard 40-week model. Women with irregular cycles should rely on early ultrasound dating for greater accuracy.
