Worked example
With a conception on 15 August, the due date is 8 May. Day 1 gives 24 April. Day 31 gives 24 May. All dates here use a 365-day year.

Common questions
How reliable is a due date worked out by month?
It is an estimate, and births spread across the weeks around it. A conception on day 15 of August gives 8 May, with arrivals spread across the weeks around that date.
Which month will my baby be born?
The due date month is a guide, and many births come earlier or later. A conception in August points to April and May.
What if I only know the month?
Use the middle of the month. The due date then falls in the middle of the window. Day 15 of August maps to 8 May.
How many weeks is the gap?
Divide the days by 7 to get weeks. From day 1 of August to 24 April is 266 days, which is 38 weeks.
What if my cycle is not regular?
When cycles are irregular, an ultrasound can date a pregnancy more reliably than a calendar. A date of 15 August would then give 8 May only as a first guess.
