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. Major organs begin to form.
- Second Trimester (Weeks 13-26): Rapid growth period. Babies can move, hear, and respond to light.
- Third Trimester (Weeks 27-40): Preparation for birth. Babies gain weight and strengthen their muscles.
Pregnancy Week Calculation
Pregnancy week = (Current date - LMP date) / 7 days
Example: If today is May 15 and your LMP was April 1, you're in week 6 of pregnancy.
Due Date Calculation
The average pregnancy lasts 40 weeks (280 days). Your due date is calculated by adding 280 days to your last menstrual period (LMP) date.
For example, if your LMP was on January 1, your due date would be around October 30.
Estimated Conception Date
If you know your estimated conception date, subtract 14 days to estimate your LMP date.
Baby Size Development
Baby size changes throughout pregnancy. Here's a general timeline:
| Pregnancy Week | Baby Length | Baby Weight |
|---|---|---|
| 1-4 | 0.1-0.5 inches | 0.01-0.03 ounces |
| 5-8 | 0.5-1.5 inches | 0.03-0.1 ounces |
| 9-12 | 1.5-3 inches | 0.1-0.5 ounces |
| 13-20 | 3-12 inches | 0.5-2 ounces |
| 21-28 | 12-20 inches | 2-6 ounces |
| 29-40 | 20-22 inches | 6-7 pounds |
