Pregnancy Wheel Calculator

Calculate gestational age, trimester, and time remaining until the estimated due date (EDD) from days elapsed since the last menstrual period (LMP), using Naegele's rule.

About this calculator

A pregnancy wheel translates a single count -- days elapsed since the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) -- into the handful of numbers a prenatal visit actually runs on. This calculator takes that day count directly as its input (Days Since LMP), rather than a calendar date -- if you know the calendar date of the LMP, count the days from then to today before entering it here. Gestational Age in weeks is simply that day count divided by 7 and rounded down, so it always rises as Days Since LMP rises across this calculator's full 0-300 day range, never dips back down.

The estimated due date itself comes from Naegele's rule, the standard obstetric convention that adds 280 days (40 weeks) to the LMP; this calculator reports that same 280-day horizon as a countdown -- Days Until EDD and Weeks Until EDD -- rather than a calendar date, and both fall as Days Since LMP rises and reach zero exactly at day 280 (a pregnancy that has run past the estimated due date shows 0, not a negative number). Trimester follows the ACOG Committee Opinion 700 boundaries -- completed weeks 0-13 are the first trimester, 14-27 the second, and 28 onward the third -- and Pregnancy Progress expresses the same day count as a percentage of the full 280-day term, capped at 100% once the due date has passed. None of these figures replace a first-trimester ultrasound, which remains the more accurate way to date a pregnancy when LMP recall is uncertain or cycles are irregular.

How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Days Since LMP — the number of days elapsed since the first day of the last menstrual period. If you know the calendar date, count the days from then to today.
  2. Review gestational age in weeks and days, trimester, and Days/Weeks Until EDD (a countdown, not a calendar due date).
  3. Confirm with first-trimester ultrasound dating when available.

What each input means

Days Since LMP
Number of days since the first day of the last menstrual period. Typical pregnancy is 280 days (40 weeks).

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    Days Since LMP = 84 = 1 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Gestational Age
    Gestational Age
    12 = 12
  3. Calculate Trimester
    Trimester
    1 = 1
  4. Calculate Plus Days
    Plus Days
    0 = 0
  5. Calculate Days Until EDD
    Days Until EDD = max(0, 280 - Days Since LMP)
    196 = 196

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this calculator give me an actual due date (a calendar date)?

No -- it reports how many days and weeks remain until the estimated due date (Days Until EDD, Weeks Until EDD), computed from Naegele's rule (LMP + 280 days), rather than a specific calendar date. Both countdowns floor at 0 once the estimated due date has passed rather than going negative. If you need an actual calendar due date, add 280 days to the calendar date of your LMP, or ask your prenatal care provider.

Why does Gestational Age only ever go up as I increase Days Since LMP?

Gestational Age in weeks is Days Since LMP divided by 7, rounded down to a whole week -- a direct, one-way conversion with no other input feeding into it. Across this calculator's full 0-300 day range, more elapsed days always means an equal or greater number of completed weeks, never fewer.

What determines which trimester a pregnancy is in?

The calculator uses the ACOG Committee Opinion 700 boundaries: completed gestational weeks 0 through 13 are the first trimester, 14 through 27 are the second, and 28 weeks onward is the third. The cutoff is based purely on completed gestational weeks, calculated from Days Since LMP, with no other input involved.

Can Pregnancy Progress ever show more than 100%?

No. Pregnancy Progress is Days Since LMP divided by the standard 280-day term, expressed as a percentage, but the calculator caps the displayed value at 100% once the estimated due date has passed -- entering 300 days since LMP (the calculator's maximum) still shows 100%, not 107%.
