If i got pregnant today when is my due date

Few things can compare to the rush and excitement of when you take a pregnancy test and read out the positive result! Once you’ve processed the news that you’re going to be a mom, your thoughts will naturally turn to planning and one of your first questions will no doubt be: when is my due date?

Use these three simple steps to find out how far along you are in your pregnancy:

1. Figure out when was the first day of your last period or the exact day you conceived.
   
2. Enter the relevant dates into the pregnancy week calculator.
3. Then hit Find out now! to find out how far along you are. 

Keep in mind every pregnancy is unique and the result will be an estimation rather than a fixed date.

Are you expecting? Use this pregnancy due date calculator to find out when your baby is due. Your health care provider will confirm the baby's gestational age with a first trimester ultrasound.

How is my due date calculated?

Conception Date: If you have been using an ovulation predictor kit or tracking your ovulation you may be able calculate your due date based on the precise date of conception. In order to do this simply count 266 days, or 38 weeks, from the conception date to find your estimated due date.

Last Period: This is the most common way to calculate your estimated due date. To calculate, count 40 weeks, or 280 days, from the first day of your last menstrual period.

IVF: If you conceived through IVF, you can calculate your estimated due date using your IVF transfer date. If you had a day-three transfer, count 263 days from the transfer to your estimated due date, and for a day-five transfer, count 261 days.

What an amazing feeling! You’re pregnant.

Now you'll want to know when your baby is due – instead of calculating your baby’s due date by counting on your fingers, adding and subtracting weeks and dividing by days, simply use the Huggies due date calculator to work out your approximate due date. This way, you can simply cross off the days one-by-one on your calendar and before you know it, your baby is ready to meet you.

How does the Huggies pregnancy calculator work?

In simple terms, your baby’s due date (and the length of your pregnancy!) is around 38 weeks from the day of conception. However, the day of conception is often not known, so the standard for due date calculation works by counting 40 weeks from the first day of the last normal menstrual period (LNMP).

Assuming your cycle is 28 days, your baby was only waiting to be conceived in the first 2 weeks of your 40 gestational weeks of pregnancy. At the start of your third gestational week, your baby has been created and by the week’s end, your baby is already one week old!

Our pregnancy calculator will help you work out your conception date. You can also find out the dates of the end of your first and second trimesters, and of course your estimated due date! Simply enter the first day of your last normal menstrual period as well as the length of the menstrual cycle, click “calculate my due date” and all the hard work is done.

The exact due date will vary slightly depending on the length of your cycle – remember the Huggies due date calculator is an estimate only.
