1. What Is Pregnancy Weeks to Months Conversion?

Pregnancy weeks to months conversion helps expectant parents understand their pregnancy progress in more familiar monthly terms. Since months don't align perfectly with weeks, this calculator provides an accurate conversion based on average month length.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

\[ M = \left\lfloor \frac{Weeks}{4.345} \right\rfloor + 1 \]

Where:

\( M \) — Months pregnant
\( Weeks \) — Number of weeks pregnant
\( 4.345 \) — Average weeks per month (52 weeks ÷ 12 months)
\( \left\lfloor \right\rfloor \) — Floor function (rounds down to nearest integer)

Explanation: The formula accounts for the fact that pregnancy months don't correspond exactly to calendar months, using the average of 4.345 weeks per month for accurate conversion.
