Understanding Pregnancy Timeline

A typical pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of the last menstrual period. The timeline is divided into three trimesters:

First trimester: Weeks 1-12
Second trimester: Weeks 13-28
Third trimester: Weeks 29-40

The calculator helps you track your current pregnancy week and provides information about what's happening during each stage of development.

Note: Every pregnancy is unique. The timeline provided is an average and may vary based on individual factors.

Fetal Development Stages

Fetal development progresses rapidly during pregnancy. Here's a general overview of key stages:

First Trimester (Weeks 1-12)

Week 1-2: Implantation and early organ formation
Week 3-4: Heart begins to beat, neural tube forms
Week 5-6: Limbs and external features develop
Week 7-8: Face begins to resemble human, fingers and toes form
Week 9-12: Baby can hear, eyes open, movements become more noticeable

Second Trimester (Weeks 13-28)

Week 13-16: Baby gains more fat, hair grows, nails form
Week 17-20: Baby can make facial expressions, practice breathing
Week 21-24: Baby's bones harden, lungs develop
Week 25-28: Baby gains weight rapidly, practicing breathing movements

Third Trimester (Weeks 29-40)

Week 29-32: Baby's head engages in pelvis, preparing for birth
Week 33-36: Baby's skin becomes less wrinkled, eyes open fully
Week 37-40: Baby gains weight, prepares for birth

Important Pregnancy Dates

Tracking important dates helps you prepare for your baby's arrival. The calculator identifies key dates including:

Estimated due date (EDD)
Conception date (if LMP is known)
Annual checkup dates
Recommended prenatal care visits
Potential delivery window

These dates help you plan medical appointments, prepare your home, and track your pregnancy progress.
