Calculate your estimated due date (EDD) and gestational age quickly and free.
How does gestational age calculation work?
Naegele's Rule
The estimated due date is calculated by adding 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of the last menstrual period. This is the standard method used by obstetricians.
Early Ultrasound
First trimester ultrasound is the most accurate method for dating a pregnancy. The crown-rump length (CRL) measurement allows precise estimation of gestational age.

Frequently asked questions about the gestational calculator
Add 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). This is Naegele's rule, used by most obstetricians. You can also calculate it using your first ultrasound data for a more precise result.
LMP stands for last menstrual period — the first day of your most recent period. It is used as the starting point to calculate gestational age and the estimated due date, since it can usually be identified even before the pregnancy is confirmed.
Enter the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) into the gestational calculator and the result will show your current gestational age in weeks and days. If you have your first ultrasound date, use the By Ultrasound tab for an even more precise calculation.
The first-trimester ultrasound, especially between weeks 7 and 13, is the most accurate method to estimate gestational age, because it uses the baby's measurement (CRL). The LMP calculation is a good initial estimate, but may vary with irregular cycles.
It is the classic formula used to estimate the due date: add 280 days (or 40 weeks) to the first day of the last menstrual period and adjust according to the length of the menstrual cycle. It is the method behind the EDD calculator.
No. The calculator is an informational tool to estimate dates, but prenatal care with ultrasound exams is essential to monitor the baby's development. At Derm Imagem you can schedule your obstetric ultrasound with a specialist physician.
