Pregnant women need about 300ml more water per day — use our Water Intake Calculator to set your daily hydration target, and the Calorie Calculator to estimate your additional nutritional needs each trimester.

Quality sleep is essential during pregnancy. Our Sleep Calculator helps you optimise your rest, and the BMI Calculator can help you track healthy weight gain throughout your pregnancy.

  2. 2

    Instantly see how many weeks and days pregnant you are, your due date, and which trimester you are in.

    Scroll down to see your baby's current size, this week's development highlights, and all your key pregnancy dates.

Pregnancy Week Calculator — How Far Along Am I?

Free pregnancy week calculator. Find out how many weeks pregnant you are, your due date, and what's happening with your baby this week. Week-by-week development guide.

Skycally's Pregnancy Week Calculator tells you exactly how many weeks and days pregnant you are, estimates your due date, and shows you what is happening with your baby right now — all from a single date. Enter the first day of your last menstrual period (or your known due date or conception date) and the calculator instantly gives you your gestational age, trimester, days remaining, and a percentage-complete progress bar. No account required, no personal data stored.

Each week of pregnancy brings remarkable changes. The week-by-week development guide describes what is happening with your baby — from the neural tube forming at week 4 to the lungs developing surfactant at week 24 to the baby settling into a head-down position at week 32. Alongside each developmental update, the guide notes what physical changes you might experience and includes a practical tip for that specific stage. The baby size card compares your baby's current size to a familiar fruit or vegetable — from a poppy seed at week 4 to a pumpkin at week 40.

The trimester timeline provides a visual overview of your entire pregnancy journey, showing exactly where you are within the three trimesters and marking the key clinical milestones: first heartbeat detectable at week 6, anatomy scan window at weeks 18-22, viability milestone at week 24, and full term at week 39. The key dates card translates these milestones into actual calendar dates based on your specific due date, so you know exactly when each appointment window falls.

Pregnancy nutrition and hydration are critical throughout all three trimesters. Use our Water Intake Calculator to set a precise daily fluid target — pregnant women typically need 300ml more per day than usual. Our Sleep Calculator can help you optimise rest during pregnancy, when quality sleep becomes increasingly important. For nutritional planning, the Calorie Calculator can estimate the additional calories needed during each trimester.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is pregnancy measured in weeks?

Pregnancy is measured from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), not from conception. This means you are considered 2 weeks pregnant at the time of conception, since ovulation typically occurs around day 14 of a 28-day cycle. A full-term pregnancy is 40 weeks from the LMP, which is approximately 38 weeks from conception.

How accurate is the due date calculation?

The due date is calculated using Naegele's rule: add 280 days (40 weeks) to the first day of your last period. This assumes a 28-day cycle with ovulation on day 14. For cycles longer or shorter than 28 days, the calculator adjusts accordingly. Only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date — most arrive within 2 weeks either side.

What are the three trimesters of pregnancy?

The first trimester covers weeks 1-12 and is when all major organs form. The second trimester covers weeks 13-26 — often called the 'golden trimester' as morning sickness typically eases and energy returns. The third trimester covers weeks 27-40, when the baby gains most of its weight and prepares for birth.

When can I hear the baby's heartbeat?

A heartbeat can typically be detected by transvaginal ultrasound as early as week 6, and by abdominal ultrasound around week 10-12. At your first prenatal appointment (usually between weeks 8-12), your doctor will likely confirm the heartbeat via ultrasound.

What is the viability milestone at week 24?

Week 24 is considered the threshold of viability — the point at which a baby born prematurely has a reasonable chance of survival with intensive neonatal care. Survival rates improve significantly with each additional week after 24. Babies born after 28 weeks have much higher survival rates, and after 32 weeks, outcomes are generally very good.

When should I have my anatomy scan?

The anatomy scan (also called the 20-week scan or anomaly scan) is typically scheduled between weeks 18-22. It checks the baby's development, measures growth, and looks at the placenta and amniotic fluid. It is also the scan at which many parents find out the baby's sex, if they wish to know.

How much weight should I gain during pregnancy?

Weight gain recommendations depend on your pre-pregnancy BMI. Women with a normal BMI (18.5-24.9) are typically advised to gain 11-16 kg. Underweight women may need to gain more; overweight women less. Your healthcare provider will give you personalised guidance. Use our BMI Calculator to check your pre-pregnancy BMI.

What does it mean when the baby drops?

Baby dropping (also called lightening or engagement) happens when the baby moves lower into the pelvis in preparation for birth. It typically occurs in the last few weeks of pregnancy for first-time mothers, and sometimes not until labour begins for subsequent pregnancies. You may notice it becomes easier to breathe but you feel more pressure in your pelvis.
