The Pregnancy Week By Week Calculator computes pregnancy week by week from the relation gestational age weeks = days since last menstrual period / 7. It takes a single input (days since first day of last menstrual period in days) and returns the pregnancy week by week. Because this is a pure mathematical or physical formula rather than a jurisdiction-specific rule, the result never changes over time: the same inputs always produce the same answer, so you can rely on it whether you are checking homework, sizing a design, or sanity-checking another tool. Enter your values in the fields below and the result updates instantly; you can also share a permalink that pre-fills the exact calculation, which is useful for teaching, reports, or collaboration. For example, with days since first day of last menstrual period = 280 days, the pregnancy week by week works out to 40, and the worked example further down the page shows every step so you can follow the arithmetic and reproduce it by hand. The method is the standard form documented by NICHD: How is pregnancy dated, and the figure above each result carries the date it was last verified.
