1. What Is Pregnancy Week By Week Month By Month Calculator?

The Pregnancy Week By Week Month By Month Calculator helps expectant mothers track their pregnancy progress by calculating both weekly and monthly milestones based on the last menstrual period (LMP) date.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formulas:

\[ \text{Week} = \left\lfloor \frac{\text{Current Date} - \text{LMP}}{7} \right\rfloor \] \[ \text{Month Week} = \left\lceil \frac{\text{Week}}{4.345} \right\rceil \]

Where:

\( \text{Week} \) — Current pregnancy week
\( \text{Month Week} \) — Current pregnancy month
\( \text{Current Date} \) — Today's date or selected date
\( \text{LMP} \) — Last menstrual period date
\( 4.345 \) — Average weeks per month

Explanation: The calculation starts from the first day of your last menstrual period and converts the time difference into weeks and months for easy tracking.

3. Importance Of Pregnancy Tracking

Details: Regular pregnancy tracking helps monitor fetal development, anticipate important milestones, and ensure proper prenatal care throughout the pregnancy journey.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter your last menstrual period date and the current date (or today's date). The calculator will automatically compute your current pregnancy week and month.
