How to Use This Calculator
Using our pregnancy calculator with baby size is simple:

The calculator provides a visual representation of your baby's growth and compares it to average fetal development milestones.
How the Pregnancy Calculator Works
Our pregnancy calculator with baby size uses standard fetal growth charts to estimate your baby's size. The calculation is based on:
- Your due date or current pregnancy week
- Average fetal growth patterns
- Standard measurements for baby size at different stages
Where:
Base Size = 2.5 cm (at conception)
Growth Rate = 0.25 cm per week (average)
The calculator uses these formulas to provide accurate estimates of your baby's size throughout pregnancy.
Baby Size Chart
Here's a general guide to baby size at different stages of pregnancy:
| Pregnancy Week | Baby Size (cm) | Development Stage |
|---|---|---|
| 4-8 weeks | 2.5-5 cm | Implantation, early organ formation |
| 9-12 weeks | 5-8 cm | Limbs developing, heartbeat detectable |
| 13-16 weeks | 8-12 cm | Fingers and toes forming, quickening possible |
| 17-20 weeks | 12-16 cm | Eyes forming, movements noticeable |
| 21-24 weeks | 16-20 cm | Hair growing, baby can hear sounds |
| 25-28 weeks | 20-24 cm | Skin becomes less transparent, baby can taste |
| 29-32 weeks | 24-28 cm | Lungs developing, baby can swallow |
| 33-36 weeks | 28-32 cm | Fat deposits forming, baby can breathe outside womb |
| 37-40 weeks | 32-36 cm | Full-term baby, ready for birth |
Note: These are average measurements. Individual development may vary.
Example Calculation
Let's say you're in your 16th week of pregnancy. Here's how the calculation works:
= 2.5 cm + 4 cm
= 6.5 cm
At 16 weeks, your baby would be approximately 6.5 cm in size, which is in the early stage of limb development.
