Formula Used
The calculator uses standard pregnancy calculations:
Due Date Calculation (LMP method):
Due Date = Last Menstrual Period + 280 days
Current Pregnancy Week = (Current Date - Last Menstrual Period) / 7
Due Date Calculation (Conception method):
Due Date = Conception Date + 280 days
Current Pregnancy Week = (Current Date - Conception Date) / 7
The calculator rounds to the nearest whole week for simplicity. For precise medical calculations, consult a healthcare provider.

- Click "Calculate".
- The calculator shows:
- Estimated Due Date: October 29, 2023
- Current Pregnancy Week: 12 weeks
- Fetal Development Stage: 12-week baby (about 4 inches long)
This example shows a 12-week-old baby, which is typically about 4 inches long with visible fingers and toes.
