How to use the pregnancy calculator
Pick the date you know best:
- Last period: the first day of your last menstrual period, plus your average cycle length (21 to 45 days; use 28 if you are not sure).
- Conception date: the day you conceived, if you know it.
- Due date: the due date you were given, for example after an ultrasound scan.
Press Calculate. The result answers the question "how many weeks pregnant am I?" in weeks and days, and also shows your trimester, your due date, the number of days to go and how much of a 40-week pregnancy is complete. The milestone table lists the dates for the end of the first trimester, approximate viability, the start of term, the due date and 42 weeks, and marks which ones have already passed. Today's date is taken from your device.
How weeks of pregnancy are counted
Pregnancy weeks are counted from the first day of the last period, about two weeks before conception. That is why you are already said to be "4 weeks pregnant" around the time a period is missed.
- From your last period, the start date moves by one day for each day your cycle is longer or shorter than 28 days.
- From a conception date, the start date is 14 days earlier.
- From a due date, the start date is 280 days (40 weeks) earlier.
The number of days since the start date, divided by 7, gives the completed weeks; the remainder gives the extra days. The first trimester lasts until 13 weeks 6 days, the second until 27 weeks 6 days, and the third until birth.
Worked example
If your last period started on February 2, 2026, your cycle is 28 days long and today is June 15, 2026, then 133 days have passed. That is 19 weeks and 0 days, in the second trimester. The due date is Monday, November 9, 2026, with 147 days to go, and the pregnancy is 47.5% complete. The first trimester ended on May 10, approximate viability is reached on July 20 and term begins on October 19.
Good to know
- Babies born from 37 weeks are considered term. Doctors further split this into early term (37–38 weeks), full term (39–40 weeks) and late term (41 weeks).
- "Viability" around 24 weeks is a rough medical reference point, not a guarantee; outcomes depend on many factors and on the care available.
- A dating scan in early pregnancy is more accurate than any calculator. If your scan gives a different due date, enter it with the due date method.
- This calculator gives estimates, not medical advice. Always follow the guidance of your doctor or midwife.
