Pregnancy Calculators and Tools

PanaKit's pregnancy calculators help you date your pregnancy and plan the months after. Work out your due date from your last period, IVF transfer or scan, see how many weeks pregnant you are, check healthy weight gain, and plan breastfeeding calories and alcohol timing. Each tool is built on ACOG, NHS or CDC guidance and runs privately in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Start with the Pregnancy Due Date Calculator and the first day of your last period. It gives your estimated due date and how many weeks pregnant you are. If you conceived through IVF, use the IVF Due Date Calculator instead. After your dating scan, check your date with the Ultrasound Due Date Calculator.

The standard method adds 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last period. If you know your conception date, it adds 266 days to that instead. The NHS notes that pregnancy normally lasts 37 to 42 weeks, so your due date is a guide to when your baby may arrive, not a fixed date.

A calculator is only as accurate as the date you enter, and a date from your last period assumes ovulation around day 14. ACOG says an ultrasound in the first trimester, up to 13 weeks and 6 days, is the most accurate way to set or confirm your due date. After that, your due date should rarely change.

Gestational age is counted from the first day of your last period, about two weeks before conception usually happens. Fetal age counts from conception. So at "8 weeks pregnant" the embryo is about 6 weeks old. Doctors, midwives and scans all use gestational age.

ACOG says IVF due dates should come from the embryo's age and the transfer date. For a Day 5 embryo transfer, add 261 days to the transfer date. For a Day 3 transfer, add 263 days. Fresh and frozen transfers are dated the same way.

The CDC suggests waiting at least 2 hours after a single drink before nursing, and about 2 more hours for each extra drink. How long alcohol stays in your milk also depends on your weight and what you drank, which the Breastfeeding Alcohol Calculator works out for you.
