Review the results and interpretation

The calculator provides an estimate based on the average 40-week pregnancy. Keep in mind that actual pregnancy lengths can vary by several days.

Formula Used

Calculation from Last Menstrual Period (LMP)

Estimated Due Date (EDD) = LMP + 280 days

Gestation Period = Current Date - LMP

Calculation from Estimated Due Date (EDD)

Gestation Period = EDD - Current Date

All calculations are based on the standard 40-week (280-day) pregnancy timeline. The calculator uses the current date for all time calculations.

Example Calculation

Let's say your last menstrual period was on January 1, 2023, and today is April 1, 2023:

Estimated Due Date: January 1, 2023 + 280 days = September 27, 2023
Gestation Period: April 1, 2023 - January 1, 2023 = 90 days (12 weeks and 6 days)

This means your baby is about 12 weeks and 6 days old, and you have approximately 28 weeks remaining until the estimated due date.

Interpreting Results

The calculator provides several key pieces of information:

Estimated Due Date: Based on your LMP or EDD input
Gestation Period: How long your pregnancy has lasted so far
Weeks of Pregnancy: Your current pregnancy stage
Days Until Due Date: How many days remain until the estimated due date

Remember that these are estimates. Actual pregnancy lengths can vary, and medical professionals will provide more precise information during prenatal visits.

Pregnancy Timeline

Pregnancy is typically divided into three trimesters:

First Trimester: Weeks 1-12
Second Trimester: Weeks 13-26
Third Trimester: Weeks 27-40
