1. What is the Pregnancy Months Calculator?

The Pregnancy Months Calculator estimates how many months pregnant you are based on your last menstrual period (LMP) and current date. It provides a quick way to track pregnancy progress using the standard calculation method.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the pregnancy months formula:

\[ \text{Pregnancy Months} = \text{floor}\left(\frac{\text{Current Date} - \text{LMP}}{30.44}\right) \]

Where:

\( \text{LMP} \) — Last Menstrual Period date
\( \text{Current Date} \) — Today's date or any specified date
\( 30.44 \) — Average days per month
\( \text{floor} \) — Rounds down to nearest whole number

Explanation: The calculation converts the difference between current date and LMP from days to months using the average month length, providing an estimate of pregnancy duration.

3. Importance of Pregnancy Tracking

Details: Tracking pregnancy months helps monitor fetal development, schedule prenatal appointments, prepare for delivery, and understand which trimester you're in. It's essential for proper prenatal care and planning.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your last menstrual period date and the current date (defaults to today). Ensure LMP date is before current date for accurate calculation. The result shows complete months of pregnancy.
