1. What is Pregnancy Week Calculator?

The Pregnancy Week Calculator estimates how many weeks pregnant you are based on your due date and the current date. It helps track pregnancy progress and anticipate important milestones.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following calculation:

Where:

• Due Date — The estimated date of delivery (EDD)
• Current Date — Today's date or any date you want to check

Explanation: The calculator determines the time difference between the current date and due date, then converts days to weeks.

3. Importance of Tracking Pregnancy Weeks

Details: Tracking pregnancy weeks helps monitor fetal development, schedule prenatal tests at appropriate times, and prepare for delivery.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your due date (typically provided by your healthcare provider) and the current date (defaults to today). The calculator will show how many weeks pregnant you are and how many weeks remain until your due date.
