Pregnancy Baby Calculator

Track your pregnancy progress with our pregnancy baby calculator. Calculate your due date, determine your current gestation week, and explore baby development stages throughout pregnancy.

How to Use This Calculator

Using our pregnancy baby calculator is simple:

Enter the date of your last menstrual period (LMP) or the date of your first day of your last menstrual period.
Select the method you want to use for calculation (LMP or ultrasound).
If using ultrasound, enter the number of weeks and days since your last scan.
Click "Calculate" to see your estimated due date, current gestation week, and baby development stage.

The calculator provides a visual timeline of your pregnancy progress and key milestones.

Formula Used

The calculator uses standard pregnancy calculation methods:

Standard Pregnancy Calculation

Due Date = Last Menstrual Period (LMP) + 280 days (40 weeks)

Ultrasound Calculation

Due Date = Ultrasound Date + (280 days - Ultrasound Weeks × 7 days - Ultrasound Days)

The calculator also accounts for the average length of each pregnancy week, which varies slightly throughout pregnancy.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a pregnancy using the LMP method:

Last Menstrual Period: January 1, 2023
Calculation: January 1, 2023 + 280 days = October 8, 2023
Result: Estimated due date is October 8, 2023

If you're currently on September 1, 2023, you're in your 28th week of pregnancy.

Baby Development Stages

Pregnancy is divided into three trimesters, each with distinct baby development milestones:

Week Range	Key Development
1-4	Implantation, early organ formation
5-8	Facial features develop, heart begins to beat
9-12	Limbs form, baby can hear sounds
13-16	Fingers and toes form, baby can taste
17-20	Eyes open, baby can suck thumb
21-24	Hair grows, baby can hear outside world
25-28	Baby can swallow, lungs develop
29-32	Fat stores, baby can hear clearly
33-36	Eyes open, baby can hear well
37-40	Full-term baby, ready for birth

The calculator shows which development stage your baby is in based on your current pregnancy week.
