There are quite a few ways to say due date in Spanish, including fecha límite. However, in Mexico at least, I don't hear any version of due date in the context of a birth. You might say

¿Cuál es la fecha de parto?
¿Cuándo nace tu bebé?
And various forms of
¿Cuándo vas a dar a luz al bebé?

In Spain, this question can be translated in 2 ways:

  • When is the baby due? ¿Cuándo se espera que nazca el niño? (formal)
  • When is your due date? ¿Cuándo cumples? (informal)

Nk's and jtaniel are ok although in my country we don't say ¿Cuándo cumples?

Another expression we use is : ¿Para cuándo espero/a/an?

The expression "due date" in other contexts is different. I mean when it's not for a baby. For example the due date to pay a bill could be " fecha de vencimiento".
