Baby Calculator How Many Weeks Am I

Pregnancy is a fascinating journey, and tracking your baby's development is an important part of the experience. Our baby calculator helps you determine how many weeks your baby has been in the womb based on your last menstrual period (LMP) or due date.

How to Use This Calculator

Using our pregnancy week calculator is simple. You have two options:

Enter your last menstrual period (LMP) date to calculate how many weeks your baby has been in the womb.
Enter your due date to calculate how many weeks are left in your pregnancy.

The calculator will provide you with an estimate of your pregnancy week and additional information about your baby's development.

How Pregnancy Weeks Are Calculated

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

First trimester: Weeks 1-13
Second trimester: Weeks 14-26
Third trimester: Weeks 27-40

The standard pregnancy length is 40 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period to the expected delivery date. However, every pregnancy is unique, and some babies may arrive earlier or later than the due date.

Pregnancy Week = (Current Date - Last Menstrual Period) / 7 or Pregnancy Week = (Due Date - Current Date) / 7

Our calculator uses these formulas to provide you with an accurate estimate of your pregnancy week.

Example Calculation

Let's say your last menstrual period was on January 1, 2023, and today is April 1, 2023. Here's how the calculation would work:

Current Date: April 1, 2023

Last Menstrual Period: January 1, 2023

Days Between: 91 days

Weeks: 91 / 7 ≈ 13 weeks

This means your baby is approximately 13 weeks old, which places you in the second trimester of your pregnancy.
