Your pregnancy - Expected delivery date

The following chart will help you to estimate when your baby will be due. Pick out the date of your last period from the figures in light type. Your due date is immediately underneath in bold. These dates are all calculated assuming that you have a standard 28 day cycle and the number of weeks also includes the first 2 weeks of your menstrual cycle, when you are technically not pregnant. If your cycle varies from this and you know when you ovulated, just work back 2 weeks from this date to find your last menstrual cycle date (LMP).

Knowing when you are due can help you plan your important appointments for your antenatal care and lots more. Planning your maternity wardrobe eg will I need summer or winter maternity clothes? What type of clothes should you buy for baby?

Just remember, it’s not called your ‘ESTIMATED’ due date for nothing. Baby will come whenever they are ready. The majority of babies are born within 2 weeks either side of their EDD. Click here for your Due Date Chart.
