How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your weeks pregnant (1-42) to get months, trimester, and ACOG classification.
- Use the Months → Weeks tab to convert in the opposite direction.
- Use the Trimester Guide tab to see your progress percentage and weeks remaining.
- Use the Professional tab with additional days input for exact gestational age in weeks+days format.
Formula
Calendar months = Weeks ÷ 4.345 (1 calendar month avg = 30.44 days)
Lunar months = Weeks ÷ 4
Trimesters: 1st: 1-12 wks | 2nd: 13-27 wks | 3rd: 28-40+ wks
Example
Example: 24 weeks pregnant. Calendar months = 24 ÷ 4.345 = 5.5 months. Trimester: 2nd trimester. Weeks remaining to 40: 16 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
- A full-term pregnancy of 40 weeks equals approximately 9.2 calendar months (40 ÷ 4.345 weeks/month). This is why pregnancy is said to last "9 months" — though it is technically closer to 10 lunar months (4-week months) or 9.2 calendar months.
- Per standard obstetric convention: 1st trimester = weeks 1-12. 2nd trimester = weeks 13-27. 3rd trimester = weeks 28 through delivery (typically 40-42 weeks). Each trimester is approximately 13 weeks.
- Gestational age is counted from the first day of the LMP and is how weeks of pregnancy are clinically measured — it includes ~2 weeks before conception. Fetal (fertilization) age is approximately 2 weeks less than gestational age.
- Per ACOG 2013: Early term = 37-38 weeks 6 days; Full term = 39-40 weeks 6 days; Late term = 41 weeks; Post-term = ≥42 weeks. Before 37 weeks is preterm.
- The "10 months" framing uses lunar months of exactly 28 days. 40 weeks ÷ 4 weeks = 10 lunar months. Calendar months average 30.44 days, so 40 weeks = 9.2 calendar months. Most people say "9 months" colloquially.
