The How Many Weeks Was I Pregnant Calculator determines how many weeks pregnant you were at a specific past date based on your last menstrual period (LMP). This calculation helps track historical pregnancy progress and understand fetal development timelines.
The calculator uses the pregnancy weeks formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculation measures the time elapsed between your LMP and a specific past date, then converts days to complete weeks by dividing by 7 and rounding down.
Details: Knowing how many weeks pregnant you were at specific dates is crucial for understanding fetal development milestones, tracking pregnancy progress retrospectively, and correlating symptoms or events with specific gestational ages.
Tips: Enter the past date you want to check and your last menstrual period date. Ensure the past date is after your LMP date for accurate calculation. The result shows complete weeks of pregnancy at that historical point.
Q1: Why calculate past pregnancy weeks?
A: This helps understand fetal development stages at specific times, track pregnancy milestones retrospectively, and correlate symptoms or medical events with gestational age.
Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: Very accurate for dating pregnancies, as it follows standard obstetric dating methods where pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period.
Q3: What if I don't know my exact LMP?
A: Use your best estimate. Early ultrasound dating can provide more accurate gestational age if LMP is uncertain.
Q4: Can this be used for current pregnancy dating?
A: Yes, by using today's date as the "past date," you can calculate current pregnancy weeks using the same formula.
Q5: Why round down to whole weeks?
A: Pregnancy is typically measured in complete weeks in clinical practice. The floor function ensures you get the number of full weeks completed.
