Can I get any calculator which can calculate my due date?

My friend told me that after 5 months of pregnancy I can calculate my due date. I was really surprised and would like to know more about it. it will be really great if I can get something like this and plan my schedule according to it. I also want to know are these calculated date perfect. I mean is there anyone who has tried this calculator and got the result on the same day as showed by the calculator?

One can calculate their duer date very well, based on the LMP. Pregnancy is of 266 days from the conception, or even about 280 from one's LMP. This period of duration is about 40 weeks or 9 months . As per Dr. Naegele, circa 1850, determined us that the average length of human gestation was to be approximately 266 days from the conception. The average woman had a cycle that lasted 28 days and even that she usually gets ovulated on Day 14 of her cycle.

((LMP + 7 days) - 3 months) = Due Date

However, as per the Dr. Naegele, he did not consider certain factors in his calculation. For example: Not every woman gets ovulates on the Day 14. Today we still have to use Naegele's rule to determine the due dates . However, there is a new rise to this discussion of the accuracy of the Naegele's findings. With the advent of the true prenatal care, and even midwives and physicians are helping the women educate themselves about risk factors, nutrition and even the prenatal screening. This extends the lengths the gestation for many women. So now you know, it is easy for you to find out when your baby is going arrive.
