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 calculator determines your baby's gestational age by calculating the difference between your due date and the current date. The result is presented in weeks.
Formula:
Gestational Age (weeks) = (Current Date - Due Date) / 7 days
This calculation provides an estimate of your baby's age. For precise medical information, always consult with your healthcare provider.
Example Calculation
Let's say your due date is January 15, 2024, and today's date is March 15, 2024. Here's how the calculation works:
Gestational Age = (March 15, 2024 - January 15, 2024) / 7 days
= (60 days) / 7 days
= 8.57 weeks
This means your baby is approximately 8 weeks and 3 days old, placing you in the second trimester of pregnancy.
