How accurate is a due date based on the last period?

It's a widely used estimate, but only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date — actual delivery can happen anywhere in a range of a few weeks around it.

Why does cycle length matter for the estimate?

The standard 280-day estimate assumes a 28-day cycle with ovulation around day 14. A longer or shorter cycle shifts the likely ovulation and conception date, which shifts the due date accordingly.
