Pregnancy Gestation Calculator

Last Menstrual Period (LMP):

Average Cycle Length (days):

Knowing the timeline of your pregnancy is essential for planning prenatal care, monitoring development, and preparing for delivery. The Pregnancy Gestation Calculator provides an easy way to estimate key dates and milestones based on your last menstrual period (LMP) and average cycle length.

With this calculator, you can instantly find your due date, current week and day of pregnancy, trimester, days until delivery, and estimated conception date.

How the Pregnancy Gestation Calculator Works

Pregnancy typically lasts 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of your last menstrual period. The calculator uses this timeline and your cycle length to estimate:

Due Date: Estimated delivery date based on a standard 280-day gestation.
Current Week & Day: How far along you are in your pregnancy.
Trimester: First (0–12 weeks), second (13–26 weeks), or third (27+ weeks).
Days Until Due: Remaining days until your estimated delivery.
Conception Date: Approximate date of fertilization based on cycle length.

Simply enter your LMP and average cycle length, click calculate, and view your pregnancy timeline instantly.

Example Scenario

Suppose your LMP was January 1 and your average cycle is 28 days:

Due Date: October 7
Current Week: 10 weeks
Current Day: 3 days
Trimester: First Trimester
Days Until Due: 190 days
Conception Date: January 15

This allows you to track progress accurately and plan appointments, nutrition, and prenatal care.

No, it assumes a singleton pregnancy; twins may have different gestation lengths.
Can I use it for past pregnancies?
Yes, it can help retrospectively calculate milestones for records.
Is it safe to rely on this for medical decisions?
Use it for guidance; always consult your healthcare provider for medical decisions.
How often should I check my gestation?
