There are around 266 days between fertilisation and the birth of your baby. The first day of your last period is used to calculate your due date because the time that sexual intercourse took place does not have to coincide with fertilisation.

Important to know: A normal, 'on-schedule' full-term birth can deviate up to 2 weeks from the calculated due date. And deviations are the norm here: Only 5% of all pregnant women give birth on the calculated due date.

You can use the pregnancy calculator to calculate your expected duet date. Simply enter the date of the first day of your last period and the calculator will work out the due date of your baby.
