About the Gestational Age Calculator
The Gestational Age Calculator is a simple yet powerful tool designed to estimate how far along a pregnancy is. By entering the date of the motherβs Last Menstrual Period (LMP), the calculator quickly determines the gestational age in weeks and days, along with the estimated due date. This helps expectant parents, healthcare providers, and anyone planning prenatal care get accurate information instantly.
How It Works
-
Based on LMP (Last Menstrual Period) β The tool uses the standard obstetric calculation method, which assumes an average pregnancy lasts 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of the last menstrual period.
-
Date Calculation β From the LMP date you provide, the calculator counts the total days passed to determine gestational age, and adds 280 days to estimate the due date.
-
Quick and Accurate β The method aligns with common clinical practice and is widely accepted for estimating pregnancy progress, especially in the early weeks.
