Due Date Calculator

Please select the first day of your last period

Your last period date:

First Trimester

5 weeksBabies first heartbeat.
8 weeksClap along and kick it off with your baby as he or she develops her arms and feet with fingers and toes.
11 weeksYour baby can hiccup, though it’s too soon for you to feel it.

Second Trimester

14 weeksYour baby can make facial expressions and may have discovered thumb-sucking.
15 weeksYour baby can see the light that filters in from outside your womb.
19 weeksYour baby can hear your heartbeat and sounds that come from outside your body, such as your partner’s voice.
23 weeksYour baby’s sense of movement has developed, so you may sometimes be able to see him squirming under the surface of your belly.
27 weeksYour baby is sleeping and waking up at regular intervals, opening and closing his/her eyes, and sucking his fingers.

Third Trimester

28 weeksYour baby may be dreaming.
37 weeksYour baby is now considered “early term.” Babies born now usually do well, but ideally, the baby should stay in your womb for a couple more weeks to give his brain and lungs time to fully mature.
39 weeksYour baby is now considered full-term and is ready for life outside the womb.
41 weeksYou’ve passed your due date and your baby is now considered “late term.” To avoid complications, your doctor will probably talk to you about inducing labor in the next week or two.
