Due date for a last period in July
Enter your last period start date to get a due date. This page is set up for July. The table below covers each day from day 1 to day 31.

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 last period on day 15 of July gives 21 April, 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 last period in July 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 July maps to 21 April.
How many weeks is the gap?
Divide the days by 7 to get weeks. From day 1 of July to 7 April is 280 days, which is 40 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 July would then give 21 April only as a first guess.
