About this calculator

This gestational age calculator counts the exact number of days from the first day of the last menstrual period to today, then converts that into the weeks-and-days format used throughout prenatal care.

It also projects the estimated due date using the standard 40-week (280-day) pregnancy length.

Frequently asked questions

Why does gestational age start before conception?

By medical convention, pregnancy is dated from the first day of the last period, which is roughly two weeks before conception actually occurs.

Will my provider's dating match this exactly?

It should closely match if your cycles are regular; providers often adjust based on an early ultrasound if there's a discrepancy.
