How many weeks pregnant?

The calculation

How this estimate works

The calculator counts complete days from the first day of the last menstrual period to today—or to another date you choose. Every seven complete days becomes one gestational week.

It also adds 280 days to the last-period date for a standard due-date estimate and groups the elapsed time into a broad trimester.

Good to know

Leave room for real life

This count is only as reliable as the date behind it. Irregular cycles, uncertain dates, and ovulation that happened earlier or later than average can all change the estimate.

Use the gestational age and due date confirmed by your maternity team for appointments, screening windows, medication decisions, or concerns about the pregnancy.

Common questions

A little more context

Why does pregnancy counting start before conception?

Gestational age is conventionally counted from the first day of the last menstrual period. In a typical 28-day cycle, that is about two weeks before conception.

What does 8 weeks and 3 days pregnant mean?

It means 8 complete weeks and 3 additional days have passed since the gestational start date used for dating. You are in your ninth week of pregnancy.

When do trimesters begin in this calculator?

This tool labels weeks 0–13 as the first trimester, weeks 14–27 as the second, and week 28 onward as the third. Clinical resources sometimes present boundaries slightly differently.

What if I do not know my last period date?

Do not guess for medical decisions. A healthcare professional can use your history and ultrasound findings to establish the best obstetric estimate.
