How Pregnancy Weeks and Days Are Calculated
Pregnancy is typically measured in weeks and days from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). The average pregnancy lasts 40 weeks (280 days), but this can vary.
Formula
When calculating from LMP to EDD:
EDD = LMP + 280 days
When calculating from EDD to LMP:
LMP = EDD - 280 days
To find the current week and day:
Week = (Days since LMP) / 7
Day = (Days since LMP) % 7
The calculator uses these formulas to provide accurate pregnancy week and day information.
Example Calculation
Let's say your last menstrual period was on January 1, 2023. Here's how the calculation works:
- LMP: January 1, 2023
- Add 280 days: January 1, 2023 + 280 days = October 7, 2023
- Current date: June 1, 2023
- Days since LMP: June 1, 2023 - January 1, 2023 = 151 days
- Pregnancy week: 151 / 7 = 21 weeks
- Pregnancy day: 151 % 7 = 6 days
So, you would be in your 21st week and 6th day of pregnancy.
