What "weeks pregnant" actually counts from

Every number on this page starts from one date: the first day of your last menstrual period. Pregnancy is dated this way rather than from conception because that date is usually known precisely, while the exact day an egg was fertilized almost never is. From that starting point, a full-term pregnancy runs about 280 days, roughly 40 weeks, to an estimated due date.

Reading your progress bar

The bar above your results is the same 280 day span expressed as a percentage. It grows a little each day and tops out at 100 percent around your due date, though real births cluster in a range rather than landing on a single day. Early in pregnancy the bar will look nearly empty even though a great deal of development is already underway; percentage of time elapsed is a calendar measure, not a measure of how much is happening.

Trimester boundaries used here: the first trimester runs through week 13, the second from week 13 to 27, and the third from week 27 onward. These are the standard clinical dividing lines rather than an exact three way split of 40 weeks.

Four numbers, one calculation

How far along, trimester, due date, and days remaining all come from the same underlying arithmetic once you enter your last period date and average cycle length. If your cycle runs longer or shorter than 28 days, the due date shifts accordingly, and every other figure on this page moves with it. That is also why a different pregnancy app can show a slightly different week count: some default to conception based dating, which lands about two weeks earlier in the count than LMP based dating for the same pregnancy.

These figures are estimates for general tracking. Your provider's dating, especially after an early ultrasound, is the one that governs your actual care.

Good to know

FAQs

What does the progress percentage represent?

It is the share of a standard 280 day pregnancy that has passed since the first day of your last period, capped at 100 percent.

Why might my week count feel off compared to an app I used before?

Different tools sometimes use conception based dating instead of LMP based dating, which shifts the count by roughly two weeks. Confirm which convention your provider uses.

Does days remaining update automatically?

It recalculates from today's date each time you open the page, counting down toward the estimated 40 week due date.

What happens once I pass my due date?

The days remaining figure will show that your estimated date has passed. Going past 40 weeks is common, and your provider will discuss monitoring and next steps with you.
