A pregnancy calculator is a tool that helps to estimate important dates during pregnancy, such as the due date and the gestational age of the baby. It uses certain inputs such as the date of the woman's last menstrual period (LMP), the length of her menstrual cycle, and the estimated date of conception (if known).
The due date is calculated based on the assumption that a pregnancy lasts for 280 days (or 40 weeks) from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period. However, not all pregnancies are the same length, so the due date is an estimate and may vary by a few days.
The gestational age is the age of the baby in weeks and is calculated from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period. This information is important in determining the growth and development of the baby and in identifying any potential problems.
Pregnancy calculators are widely available online and can be used by women to estimate important dates during their pregnancy. However, it is important to note that these calculators are estimates and should not be used as a substitute for medical advice from a healthcare provider. If you have any questions or concerns about your pregnancy, you should always consult with your doctor or other healthcare provider
