Simply enter your last menstrual period date or due date in the calculator, and it will show you the complete pregnancy timeline.

Understanding Pregnancy Weeks

A typical pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of your last menstrual period to the expected delivery date. This period is divided into three trimesters:

  1. First trimester: Weeks 1-12
  2. Second trimester: Weeks 13-28
  3. Third trimester: Weeks 29-40

Note: Some healthcare providers count weeks differently, starting from the first day of the last menstrual period or from the first day of the menstrual period before conception.

Fetal Development by Week

Fetal development progresses rapidly during pregnancy. Here are some key milestones:

Key Development Stages

  • Weeks 1-4: Fertilization, implantation, and early organ formation
  • Weeks 5-8: Major organs begin to form, heart starts beating
  • Weeks 9-12: Limbs develop, face becomes recognizable
  • Weeks 13-16: Baby can hear sounds, fingers and toes form
  • Weeks 17-20: Baby can make facial expressions, hair grows
  • Weeks 21-24: Baby can suck thumb, eyelids open
  • Weeks 25-28: Baby can taste, practice breathing movements
  • Weeks 29-32: Baby gains weight rapidly, moves frequently
  • Weeks 33-36: Baby is in "breech" position, practicing breathing
  • Weeks 37-40: Baby is fully developed, ready for birth

Each week brings new developments, and your healthcare provider can provide more specific information about your baby's growth.
