Pregnancy Calculator Week by Week

Pregnancy is calculated in weeks, instead of months. The estimated due date is generally in the 40th week- which is technically 10th month. Using a pregnancy calculator week by week would assist in determining how far into the pregnancy you are, and it would also provide a better idea of expected delivery date. The expected date of delivery is the time when labor is supposed to begin, and hence with continuous tracking you can be better prepared to welcome the baby.

Generally, pregnancy is tracked based on:

Gestational age– it is calculated from the date of last menstrual period to the current date, and it determines how far along the woman is pregnant. Usually, pregnancies last between 38 to 42 weeks and babies born before 37 weeks are termed premature.

Fetal age– while gestational age is a measure of pregnancy, fetal age determines the age of growing baby. This is calculated by the date of conception; however, it is usually hard to determine.

Pregnancy Calculator Week by Week Pictures   

If you are not sure about the days, you can use ultrasound with pregnancy calculator week by week pictures, to determine the age of fetus. The ultrasound would measure the length of fetus, and the pregnancy calculator can then assist in accessing the due date.

Pregnancy Calculator by Month

While the pregnancy progress is typically calculated in weeks, pregnancy calculator by month can also help in understanding new milestones and developments in your body as well as the baby. It highlights the week-by-week progress- what to expect next in the pregnancy journey, what are the early symptoms of pregnancy, how big the baby is getting, how to prepare for labor and what signs would indicate that labor is near.

Pregnancy Calculator IVF

For IVF mothers, pregnancy calculator would determine the progress on base of:

  • Whether it was frozen or fresh embryo transfer.
  • In case of frozen transfer, what was the age of embryo at the time of freezing? If it is a day 5 frozen embryo, the patient is 2 weeks and 5 days pregnant on the transfer day.

Pregnancy calculator IVF generally produces more accurate due dates, as the patients conceive medically and hence embryo transfer date can verify how far along you are.

Pregnancy Calculator Perinatology

Perinatology, or maternal-fetal medicine, is the branch of obstetrics that deals with high-risk and complicated pregnancies, and the care of the fetus. In addition to pregnancy calculator perinatology also uses other methods for determining fetal age, including clinical examination, doppler ultrasonography, human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test and observed gestational age at the time of delivery.
