1. What Is The Pregnancy Weeks Calculator?

The Pregnancy Weeks Calculator estimates your current pregnancy week based on your estimated due date (EDD) and current date. This helps track pregnancy progress and fetal development stages.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the pregnancy weeks formula:

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

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula calculates how many weeks remain until your due date and subtracts that from 40 weeks (full term pregnancy).

3. Importance Of Pregnancy Week Tracking

Details: Tracking pregnancy weeks 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 based on the time remaining until your due date.
