1. What is Baby Weeks Calculator By Due Date?

The Baby Weeks Calculator By Due Date estimates how many weeks pregnant you are based on your estimated due date (EDD) and current date. It helps track pregnancy progress and fetal development stages.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ Baby Weeks = 40 - \left\lfloor \frac{EDD - Current Date}{7} \right\rfloor \]

Where:

\( EDD \) — Estimated Due Date (date)
\( Current Date \) — Today's date or any specified date
\( \left\lfloor \right\rfloor \) — Floor function (rounds down to nearest integer)

Explanation: The calculation starts from the standard 40-week pregnancy duration and subtracts the number of weeks remaining until the due date.

3. Importance of Pregnancy Week Calculation

Details: Accurate pregnancy week calculation is essential for monitoring fetal development, scheduling prenatal appointments, preparing for delivery, and understanding which developmental milestones to expect.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your estimated due date (usually provided by your healthcare provider) and the current date. The calculator will determine how many weeks pregnant you are. Ensure dates are entered in the correct format (YYYY-MM-DD).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This calculation provides an estimate based on your due date. For precise dating, ultrasound measurements in early pregnancy are most accurate.

Q4: Can this calculator be used for IVF pregnancies?
