BabyCenter's Due Date Calculator
Use our pregnancy due date calculator by plugging in either the date of your last menstrual cycle or the date you know you conceived. The calculator will do the rest.
How is my due date calculated?
There are several ways your due date is determined. If you happen to know the day you conceived, you can count 38 weeks from that day to find your due date. (Human gestation takes about 38 weeks.)
But very few expectant moms know exactly when they conceived. Even if you only had sex once during your fertile period, you wouldn't conceive on that day unless you happen to be ovulating. Sperm can live for up to five days inside your fallopian tubes. So, it could be up to five days after you have sex that you release an egg (ovulate) and it gets fertilized by a waiting sperm. That's the day you conceive.
So, without knowing the day of conception, how does anyone determine a due date?
First day of your last period
The most common way to calculate your pregnancy due date is by counting 40 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). And that's how most healthcare providers do it.
If your menstrual cycle length is the average length (28-day cycle), your menstrual cycle probably started about two weeks before you conceived. This explains why pregnancies are said to last 40 weeks instead of 38 weeks.
This method doesn't take into account how long your menstrual cycle actually is or when you think you might have conceived. But generally speaking, women typically ovulate about two weeks after their menstrual cycle starts. And women are more likely to know when their last period started than the day they ovulated.
Conception date
If you do happen to know precisely when you conceived – say, if you were using an ovulation predictor kit or tracking your ovulation symptoms – you can calculate your pregnancy due date based on your conception date.
Just choose that calculation method from the pulldown above and put in your date.
Note: Again, you don't necessarily conceive on the day you have sex.
IVF transfer date
If you conceived through IVF, you can calculate your due date using your IVF transfer date. If you had a Day 5 embryo transfer, count 261 days from your transfer date. If you had a Day 3 embryo transfer, count 263 days.
Can my due date change?
Your healthcare provider might revise your due date if your baby is measured during a first trimester ultrasound scan and found to be much bigger or smaller than expected for gestational age. This is more likely to happen if you have an irregular menstrual cycle length that makes it hard to pinpoint the date of conception.
Your healthcare provider will measure your baby during that ultrasound exam to figure out how far along your baby is and then provide you with a new due date.
What if I already know my due date?
If you already know your due date, you can use this calculator to see your pregnancy timeline.
It will tell you when you'll hit various milestones, and when you may be due for prenatal tests and prenatal visits. You'll also find what your baby's sign and birthstone will probably be and which famous people were born on your due date.
How likely am I to give birth on my due date?
Of course, a due date calculation is always approximate, whether it's from our tool or from your doctor or midwife. Only 1 in 20 women delivers on their due date. You're just as likely to go into labor any day during the two weeks before or after.

How soon can I take a pregnancy test?
With all this talk about pregnancy due dates, you may be wondering when you can take a pregnancy test. To ensure you get the most accurate reading, it's best to wait a few days after your missed period to take a pregnancy test.
At-home urine tests measure the amount of hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin) present in your body.
If you take a pregnancy test before you miss your period, you may not get an accurate result, despite what some tests advertise.
If you're getting a blood test in your provider's office, you may get results sooner. These tests also measure the amount of hCG in your bloodstream, but they're more sensitive than at-home urine tests. Blood tests may be able to detect pregnancy six to eight days after ovulation.

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:
- Figure out when was the first day of your last period or the exact day you conceived.
- Enter the relevant dates into the pregnancy week calculator.
- 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.
While it’s true that most pregnancies last 40 weeks, there are other factors at play which will determine your due date. Most expectant mothers don’t realize that both menstrual and ovulation periods count as the first two weeks of pregnancy. Many won’t be aware of their pregnancy until their first missed period, and by that time they could be up to five weeks in. That means that simply estimating nine months from the day you take a pregnancy test isn’t going to calculate your due date, and, even so, factoring in a few weeks here and there for ovulation won’t either.
Unless you can pinpoint exactly what point of your ovulation cycle you were in at the time of fertilization, it’s difficult to know how far along you are and what date you’ll meet your baby.
Luckily, our Due Date Calculator can help.
Using both the date of your last period and the length of your regular cycle, or exact date of conception, our Due Date Calculator will quickly work out your estimated due date, tailoring it accordingly for longer, shorter, and average cycle lengths.
Once you’ve calculated your due date, you can get a better idea of when to expect your little one – and start to plan accordingly.
If you haven’t done so already, one of the first steps you should take is to schedule an appointment with your doctor, who can confirm that you're pregnant with a blood test and physical exam, and also help you establish a more precise due date.
At each following prenatal care appointment, you'll be examined to determine the size of your uterus, and to monitor your little one's development. Pregnancy milestones such as hearing your baby’s first heartbeat and seeing your baby via ultrasound will be a thrilling part of these checkups.
Along the way, depending on what is observed, your pregnancy due date may be adjusted.
While your doctor will be able to advise you best, there are still plenty of things you can do as soon as you discover you’re pregnant. Explore the rest of our site to find out more.
To whom I owe. At the box office - a new psychological thriller from a two-time Oscar winner. Why is it worth watching?: Cinema: Kultura: Lenta.ru
Last year's Cannes Film Festival Grand Prix winner, a new film by Iranian director Asghar Farhadi "Hero" is released. Lenta.ru tells how the two-time Oscar winner once again managed to build a tense thriller around a story that on paper would not be enough for a newspaper article.
Rahim (Amir Jadidi) has a two-day vacation - the kind that is supposed to be for prisoners of the Iranian debt prison. During these two days, he needs to do a lot: for example, to secretly see his beloved and spend time with his stuttering son, whom Rakhim heroically brings up alone.
However, the main thing he needs to do is to try to find 150 thousand reais to pay off the debt, because of which he went to jail. It does not work out in any way, but at the last moment his girlfriend miraculously finds a bag with seventeen gold coins at a public transport stop. After unsuccessfully pushing around various money changers, Rakhim decides to act according to his conscience - to advertise, leaving the prison phone number as his contact number. Soon the switchboard receives a call from the owner of the bag, and Raheem turns into a local celebrity. The rest of the amount of the debt is collected for him by the whole world, they sing in social networks - and soon obvious inconsistencies are found in his righteous story. In the meantime, while his barely earned reputation is cracking, Raheem faces yet another heartbreaking moral dilemma.
Two Oscars, the Grand Prix of the Cannes Film Festival - not every European director can boast of such a set, to say nothing of the Iranians, who in their homeland can get a real term for careless editing.
Nevertheless, Asghar Farhadi has just such a set of awards - Fellini and de Sica had four Oscars, however, so there is still something to strive for. He received the prize at Cannes just for "Hero" - his latest film, which is distributed by the giant Amazon.

In "Hero" Farhadi, what is important, first of all returns to his native Iranian soil. A few years ago, the director tried to globalize his experience on Spanish material - the result was Labyrinths of the Past with Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, which many critics considered unsuccessful. Working in a foreign language, the director tried to preserve his method built around psychological realism - and even called on a whole division of translators to help him communicate with the artists. However, the difficulties of translation affected the result in an almost fatal way: the dramaturgy sank, the film turned out to be too anemic to become the same event as “The Divorce of Nader and Simin” and “The Salesman” were, for which Farhadi was awarded Oscars.
The director's calculation looked quite correct, but it turned out that in addition to the well-acquired impressionistic manner of his beloved Antonioni ("Ellie's Story" by Farhadi was a direct homage to "The Adventure"), the success of his paintings was born with the necessary participation of the notorious genius of the place. In the new film with this circumstance, fortunately, everything is in order.
Farhadi's films are often described as "everyday thrillers": almost no really action-packed events take place on the screen, but the viewer in the chair fidgets as if on pins and needles. Such is the "Hero", where the internal tension grows, it would seem, for no apparent reason. Of course, the enlightened European public is first of all carried away by the outlandish conditions of the plot. In this case, we are talking about the Iranian debt prison, from where, as from the army, a person can get a leave. Thus, in the "Hero" a feeling of some conventionality of Rahim's crime is created.
It is at this point that the endless branching of the plot and the multiplication of the number of characters begins.
Actually, it is precisely this variety of characters and their almost chaotic, constantly changing direction movement that makes up the plot, creates the notorious suspense in it, allowing Farhadi's new picture to be classified as a thriller story layer. Farhadi fundamentally cannot stand direct assessments not only of what is happening in general, but also of each of the characters. While the camera gazes intently at tired and anxious faces, the author dynamically either shortens or increases his distance from the material. Moreover, in the case of The Hero, this works much better than, for example, in The Salesman, where the characters acted in a no less conditional, but still more aggressive environment. Farhadi understands that the most contagious anxiety is the one for which you do not fully understand the causes. In "Hero" (and this is also a sign of the author's style) there are really no negative characters, each is right in his own way, and everyone is to blame for each other.
As in the case of Farhadi's previous works, at some point one can get tired of the sleepy pace of the boiling up of the conflict, sarcastically noting, in particular, that introducing a stuttering boy into the plot is an obviously manipulative device. However, "Hero" is one of those cases where much can be forgiven for the experience of the film itself. Farhadi, in fact, succeeded in the main thing - something that has rarely been possible in the cinema of recent years. Rakhim invented by him is the notorious "little man", who in the course of action quite convincingly turns into the title "Hero".
This is not about epic proportions and not about some incredible deeds - in the finale, of course, he has to do something, but the newspapers do not write about this, although the final scenes will remind the domestic audience of "Beware of the car." The reason for persuasiveness lies in some other plane. Rakhim does not just blindly follow conventional religious and moral principles, but decides to act decently.
Such a choice, according to Farhadi, is worth a lot today, and it is difficult to disagree with him.

China and other creditors close to the government in Zambia have said they will negotiate sovereign debt write-offs, marking a major milestone in international efforts to prevent a wave of chaotic defaults among developing countries as interest rates rise around the world. views
The Republic of Zambia is a state in South Africa.
Zambia is considered one of the poorest countries in the world, with 82% of the population living below the poverty line. According to the World Bank, GDP per capita fell from $1,440 to $1,040 last year alone, and 60% of the population lives on less than $1.9in a day.

As Africa's second-largest copper producer, over the past decade Zambia has invested heavily in new infrastructure, including roads, airports and power plants, much of which was financed by Chinese state-owned banks in the form of credit tranches or US dollar-denominated Eurobonds. Thus, about a third of Zambia's public debt falls on Chinese financial institutions.
After several years of low copper prices and a sharp depreciation of the national currency, Zambia's already shaky financial system has been tested by the corona virus. As a result, in November 2020, Zambia defaulted on sovereign Eurobonds. By the end of last year, Zambia's debt had ballooned to 123% of the country's GNP.
Zambia's case to reschedule some $17 billion of its total debt is the first real test of a process devised by the G20 in late 2020 to get China, which has become poor countries' largest public creditor in recent years, to join the international effort to alleviate the debt burden of poor countries.
The G20 Common Framework for Debt Settlement also requires governments to negotiate debt relief even with private creditors, including international banks or bondholders.

In other words, the G20 is forcing China not only to capitalize on the unsustainable debts of heavily indebted countries, but also to help them cope with financial difficulties through additional easing. In turn, China, which wants to gain a foothold at the level of a superpower, is forced to accept these conditions and consistently reject US accusations that it has driven poor countries into a debt trap.
