Pregnancy: why 40 weeks, not 39
A pregnancy due date is conventionally counted as 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of the last menstrual period, which is roughly two weeks before conception. So “nine months” of pregnancy is closer to 40 weeks on that calendar, or about 38 weeks from conception. Your doctor or midwife sets the actual due date; this page only does the date arithmetic.
Worked example
From October 30, 2026, nine months later is July 30, 2027: 273 days, which is 39 weeks exactly. Adding 280 days to October 30, 2026 instead lands on August 6, 2027.
