Understanding Pregnancy Weeks

Pregnancy is typically divided into three trimesters, each lasting about 13 weeks:

First Trimester (Weeks 1-12): The foundation of your baby's development, including organ formation and early growth
Second Trimester (Weeks 13-26):strong> Rapid growth and development, including the baby's first movements and visible changes in appearance

Third Trimester (Weeks 27-40): Preparation for birth, including fat storage, lung development, and final growth spurt

The average pregnancy lasts 38-42 weeks. Our calculator provides detailed information about what's happening in your baby's development each week.

Baby Development by Week

Each week of pregnancy brings new developments in your baby's growth and abilities. Our calculator provides a detailed breakdown of what to expect each week, including:

Physical development (size, weight, body parts)

Brain and nervous system development

Sensory abilities (hearing, taste, touch)

Movement and reflexes

Milestones and abilities

This information helps you understand your baby's progress and what you might experience during each stage of pregnancy.

Due Date Calculation

Your due date is calculated based on your last menstrual period (LMP) or estimated due date (EDD). The standard calculation is:

Due Date = LMP + 280 days (40 weeks)

This calculation assumes a 280-day gestation period, which is the average length of a full-term pregnancy. Keep in mind that due dates are estimates and actual delivery dates can vary.

Our calculator also provides information about what to expect around your due date and how to prepare for labor and delivery.
