Exact gestational weeks and days from LMP, with current trimester, progress and estimated due date.
Gestational age is counted from the first day of the last menstrual period, by universal medical convention. This means that in weeks 1 and 2 the person is not yet pregnant, ovulation and fertilization typically occur in week 2 or 3. A fetus at '12 weeks' is 12 gestational weeks old, not 12 weeks from conception.
Gestational counting begins on the first day of the last menstrual period by international medical convention, not at the date of conception. This means that in weeks 1 and 2, pregnancy has not yet occurred biologically.
In clinical practice, gestational age drives all decisions: first-trimester screening, anatomy scan, threshold of fetal viability (week 24) and start of full term (week 37).
Fetal biometry on first-trimester ultrasound is more accurate than LMP-based calculation for pregnancies with irregular cycles or assisted conception.
Week 13 (13 weeks and 6 days) marks the end of the first trimester: miscarriage risk drops significantly and all major organs are already formed.
Week 20 is the pregnancy midpoint and the time of the anatomy scan, which assesses fetal structure, growth and placental position.
Week 24 is the threshold of fetal viability, with intensive neonatal support, babies born from this week onwards have survival chances.
Week 37 marks the start of full term (37–42 weeks), when the baby is prepared to be born with lower risk of prematurity-related complications.

The gestational count starts at the LMP by universal medical convention, because the exact date of ovulation and fertilization is rarely known precisely. This means that in the first two gestational weeks, pregnancy has not yet occurred biologically, ovulation and fertilization typically happen in weeks 2–3.
Medical notice: this calculation is educational, based on population-level averages, and does not replace prenatal care, ultrasound, diagnosis or guidance from a doctor or obstetrician.
