Calculation of weeks of pregnancy (from the first day of the last menstrual period)

Calculation of weeks of pregnancy from the first day of the last menstrual period

Calculate the number of weeks of pregnancy with the first day of the last menstruation as day 0.

The number of weeks and days from the start of the last menstruation and the number of days from the specified day are displayed.

Another way to calculate the number of weeks pregnant is from the date of ovulation.

In order to do that, it is necessary to have a fixed ovulation day, so here the calculation is based on the first day of menstruation as day 0.

Course of pregnancy

Gestation period

Pregnancy period is counted as 1 month from 0th week to 3rd week, 2nd month from 4th week to 7th week, and so on.

The 1st to 4th month of pregnancy is called the early stage of pregnancy, the 5th to 7th month of pregnancy is called the middle stage of pregnancy, and the 8th month and beyond is called the third stage of pregnancy.

Time of birth

A full-term birth is defined as a birth between 37 weeks 0 days and 41 weeks 6 days of gestation.

Fetuses born at this time are fully mature and therefore the best time to give birth safely.

A premature birth is defined as a birth between 22 weeks 0 days and 36 weeks 6 days of gestation, which is earlier than a full-term birth.

Fetuses born during this period are more likely to develop physical disabilities.

If the pregnancy is less than 22 weeks, it is called a miscarriage and it is almost impossible for the fetus to survive.

Anything after 42 weeks 0 days is called postterm.

An oversized fetus or a malfunctioning placenta increases the risk of fetal harm.
