Understanding Pregnancy Weeks

Pregnancy is typically divided into three trimesters:

First trimester (weeks 1-12): The foundation of your baby's development, including organ formation and early growth
Second trimester (weeks 13-28):strong> Rapid growth and development, with your baby becoming more active

Third trimester (weeks 29-40): Preparation for birth, with your baby growing rapidly in size and weight

Note: Some sources count pregnancy weeks differently. Our calculator uses the standard 40-week count from the first day of your last menstrual period.
