First	1-12	Organ development, rapid cell growth, early fetal movements
Second	13-28	Fetal growth accelerates, baby gains most weight, organs develop
Third	29-40	Baby prepares for birth, fat stores accumulate, practice breathing

Pregnancy Duration: 40 weeks (280 days) from first day of last menstrual period

Due Date Calculation

The due date is typically calculated as 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period. This is based on the average length of a full-term pregnancy.

Due Date Formula:

Due Date = Last Menstrual Period + 280 days

Due Date = Conception Date + 40 weeks

For example, if your last menstrual period was January 1, 2023, your due date would be October 31, 2023 (280 days later).

Note: Due dates are estimates. Babies can arrive up to 2 weeks early or up to 2 weeks late without medical complications.
