Understanding the Results

1. Tracking Pregnancy Progress

The Pregnancy Calculator helps you keep track of how far along you are, expressed in weeks and days. Knowing your current week is crucial for understanding your baby’s development stage and preparing for upcoming changes.

2. Trimester Breakdown

Pregnancy is divided into three trimesters:

• First Trimester (Weeks 1-12): Early stages of pregnancy where significant developmental changes begin.
• Second Trimester (Weeks 13-26): Often considered the most comfortable period; key milestones include the baby’s movements and hearing development.
• Third Trimester (Weeks 27-40): The final stretch where the baby grows rapidly in preparation for birth.

3. Milestones

Key milestones during pregnancy, such as when the baby starts moving or when certain risks decrease, are highlighted. These milestones help expectant parents know what to expect and when to prepare for significant developments.

4. Conception Date

The estimated conception date is calculated based on the due date or other input data. This date is helpful for understanding when pregnancy likely began.

By inputting your due date or other relevant information, you can track the progress of your pregnancy, know which trimester you’re in, and be aware of key milestones.
