🤰 Pregnancy Calculator

The Pregnancy Calculator helps you estimate your due date, pregnancy week, and trimester based on key inputs like your last menstrual period (LMP) or conception date. It’s a simple and reliable tool to track your pregnancy journey and understand important milestones.

Whether you’ve just found out you’re pregnant or want to track your progress, this calculator gives you a clear picture of where you are in your pregnancy.

🧠 What is a Pregnancy Calculator?

A pregnancy calculator (also known as a due date calculator) estimates when your baby is likely to be born and how far along you are in your pregnancy.

👉 It typically calculates:

• Estimated Due Date (EDD)
• Current Pregnancy Week
• Trimester Stage
• Key milestones

⚙️ How the Pregnancy Calculator Works

The calculator uses medically accepted formulas to estimate your pregnancy timeline.

📌 Most Common Method (LMP Method)

• Based on the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP)
• Adds 280 days (40 weeks) to estimate due date (American Pregnancy Association)

👉 This assumes a regular 28-day menstrual cycle.

📌 Alternative Method (Conception Date)

If you know your conception date:

• Add 266 days (38 weeks) to calculate due date (American Pregnancy Association)

👉 This method is often more accurate for tracked ovulation or IVF cases.

📊 Pregnancy Duration Explained

• Pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks from LMP (Calculator.net)
• Or about 38 weeks from conception
• Full-term pregnancy ranges between 37 to 42 weeks (nhs.uk)

👉 Only a small percentage of babies are born on the exact due date, so it’s an estimate—not a guarantee.
