1. What is Pregnancy Week Calculator?

The Pregnancy Week Calculator estimates the current week of pregnancy based on the estimated due date and current date. It helps track pregnancy progress and provides valuable information about fetal development stages.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the pregnancy week calculation formula:

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

Where:

\( EDD \) — Estimated Due Date
\( Current\ Date \) — Today's date or specified date
\( \left\lfloor \right\rfloor \) — Floor function (round down to nearest integer)
40 — Standard full-term pregnancy duration in weeks

Explanation: The formula calculates how many weeks remain until the due date and subtracts that from 40 weeks (full term) to determine the current pregnancy week.

3. Importance of Pregnancy Week Tracking

Details: Tracking pregnancy weeks is essential for monitoring fetal development, scheduling prenatal appointments, understanding developmental milestones, and preparing for delivery.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the estimated due date (typically provided by healthcare provider) and the current date. The calculator will determine the current pregnancy week and weeks remaining until delivery.
