Pregnancy
Updated on 3 November 2023
You may use a pregnancy due date calculator to determine when your baby is due. Knowing your due date will give you a rough estimate of when your little one will arrive in the world. Keep in mind, though, that your due date is only an estimate. Only a small percentage of infants are delivered on their due dates.
There are several reasons why you should be aware of your due date. Your baby's arrival may be better planned and prepared using this tool. In addition, it provides your doctor with the data they need to keep tabs on your health and the health of your child.
You may use a few different ways at home to figure out when you're due. However, these procedures aren't always reliable. Depending on the size of your baby during the ultrasound and the date of your last period, your doctor may give you a different due date.

Human fetuses grow entirely in the womb for 38 weeks (266 days). Based on this 38-week gestation period, your pregnancy due date is the day you are scheduled to give birth.
Healthcare professionals define full-term pregnancy as occurring between 37 and 42 weeks of gestation. Many variables influence when you go into labor and when your baby is delivered, so it's impossible to predict precisely when yours will arrive.
Calculating a child's due date is an educated guess. Your healthcare professional will examine you and your growing fetus to determine your due date.
Your healthcare practitioner will do an ultrasound to understand better when your baby will arrive. An ultrasound measures the size of your baby. Your doctor can figure out the gestational age of your child with the use of these measures.
Preparing for the arrival of your kid is easier when you know when you'll be delivering them. You'll have plenty of time to gather hospital supplies and buy baby gear like a car seat. Marking down the days before the arrival of a new family member may help siblings adjust to the change.

Prenatal care is easier to arrange if you know approximately when you will give birth. Taking vitamin supplements and having prenatal examinations at the appropriate intervals are two of the most important aspects of prenatal care. As your pregnancy progresses, your doctor will take measurements of your developing baby to ensure everything is going according to plan.
Only a rough estimate is given from the pregnancy due date calculator. After 37 weeks, a pregnancy is considered full-term by healthcare providers. As a result, be aware that you might give birth to your child before or beyond the scheduled due date.
During an ultrasound, your physician may inform you that the due date has been shifted. Sometimes, the baby's measurements reveal that you aren't as well off as you had previously assumed. Or, if your baby turns out to be larger than predicted, your doctor may move forward your due date a few days. All of this is very normal.
