Pregnancy Month Calculation:
| From: | To: |
The Pregnancy Month Calculator estimates the current month of pregnancy based on the Last Menstrual Period (LMP) and current date. It provides month-wise progress tracking using standard obstetric calculations.
The calculator uses the following formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculation uses 30.44 days as the average month length to convert the time difference between LMP and current date into pregnancy months.
Details: Accurate pregnancy dating is crucial for monitoring fetal development, scheduling prenatal care, and determining expected delivery date. Month-wise tracking helps in understanding pregnancy milestones and developmental stages.
Tips: Enter the first day of your last menstrual period and the current date (or any date you want to check). The calculator will determine how many months pregnant you are at that specific date.
Q1: Why use 30.44 days per month?
A: 30.44 represents the average length of a month (365.25 days ÷ 12 months), providing a more accurate conversion than using exact 30-day months.
Q2: How accurate is this calculation?
A: This provides a good estimate, but for precise pregnancy dating, healthcare providers use additional methods like ultrasound measurements.
Q3: What if I don't know my exact LMP?
A: If LMP is uncertain, an ultrasound in early pregnancy can provide more accurate dating. Always consult with your healthcare provider.
Q4: How are pregnancy trimesters calculated?
A: Pregnancy is typically divided into three trimesters: 1st (months 1-3), 2nd (months 4-6), and 3rd (months 7-9).
Q5: What's the average pregnancy duration?
A: Full-term pregnancy is approximately 40 weeks or 280 days from the first day of the last menstrual period.
