This calculator does the job in a simple way. What it does is simply add 40 weeks to the first day of your last menstrual period. And considers the menstrual period and ovulation as the first 2 weeks of pregnancy. Hence, for deliveries happening on the above-said due dates, the age of the babies comes down to 38 weeks instead of the stipulated 40 weeks.

On average only 5% of births take place exactly on the estimated due date. Most are born within a week either side of the estimated due date. A normal pregnancy can last anywhere between 38 and 42 weeks.
