Reference timeline of standard prenatal appointments and development milestones.
| Weeks | Milestone | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 4–6 | Pregnancy confirmed (home test / blood hCG) | Earliest detectable; begin prenatal vitamins |
| 8–10 | First OB appointment | Initial exam, blood work, and due date discussion |
| 11–14 | First-trimester ultrasound + NT scan | Nuchal translucency screening; chromosomal risk assessment |
| 16–18 | Quad screen / NIPT results | Genetic screening results |
| 18–20 | Anatomy scan (Level II ultrasound) | Major organ check; sex determination possible |
| 24–28 | Glucose tolerance test | Gestational diabetes screening |
| 35–37 | Group B Strep (GBS) test | Infection screening for birth |
| 39–40 | Estimated due date | Full term; birth expected ±2 weeks |
Schedule and timing may vary based on your provider's protocol and pregnancy risk factors.

Using Naegele's rule: add 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last menstrual period. Equivalently, add 9 months and 7 days to your LMP. This assumes a 28-day cycle with ovulation at day 14. Your healthcare provider will adjust this with early ultrasound dating.
Only about 4–5% of babies are born on their exact estimated due date. The LMP method is a planning estimate accurate to within ±2 weeks for most pregnancies. Ultrasound dating (especially before 12 weeks) is more accurate and may shift the due date by days to weeks if cycles are irregular.
First trimester: weeks 1–12 (implantation, major organ development, highest miscarriage risk). Second trimester: weeks 13–26 (rapid growth, gender visible, anatomy scan). Third trimester: weeks 27–40+ (lung maturation, weight gain, birth preparation). Full-term is 39–40 weeks; 37 weeks is considered early term.
40 weeks is the estimated due date. Most providers discuss induction options if no labor occurs by 41–42 weeks due to increased risks of placental aging. Approximately 80% of babies are born between weeks 37 and 42.
Yes. Early ultrasounds (before 12 weeks) are the most accurate dating tool and may revise the LMP-based EDD. If the ultrasound date differs by more than 7 days in the first trimester, or 14 days in the second trimester, the ultrasound date replaces the LMP date as the official EDD.
Gestational age counts from the first day of the LMP — so at conception (about day 14), you are already '2 weeks pregnant.' Fetal age (embryonic age) starts at conception and is typically 2 weeks less than gestational age. Medical providers use gestational age; it is what appears on your ultrasound report.
Yes. The standard calculation assumes ovulation at day 14 of a 28-day cycle. If your cycle is 35 days, ovulation likely occurs at day 21, making your due date 7 days later than the standard LMP calculation. Entering your actual cycle length in this calculator adjusts for this.
Early term: 37–38 weeks 6 days. Full term: 39–40 weeks 6 days. Late term: 41–41 weeks 6 days. Post-term: 42+ weeks. Full-term (39+ weeks) is associated with the best outcomes for most healthy pregnancies.
LMP dates and cycle length stay on your device—due-date math is not uploaded to EverydayTools servers.
Only about 4–5% of births occur on the exact EDD; clinical ultrasound dating in the first trimester is more precise than LMP alone.
Educational pregnancy dating estimate only—not medical advice. Confirm your due date and prenatal plan with your obstetrician or midwife.
