Frequently Asked Questions
How do doctors calculate how far along you are?
Doctors typically count pregnancy from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), not from conception. This means at conception, you're already considered '2 weeks pregnant.' A full-term pregnancy is 40 weeks from LMP.
What trimester am I in?
First trimester: weeks 1-13. Second trimester: weeks 14-27. Third trimester: weeks 28-40. Each trimester brings different developments for your baby and different symptoms for you.
When can I find out my baby's gender?
The most common time for gender determination is during the 20-week anatomy scan. However, our expert analysis can predict gender from ultrasound images as early as 6 weeks using Ramzi theory, or 11-14 weeks using Nub theory.
How Is Pregnancy Calculated?
Pregnancy is measured from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), not from the day you conceived. This means that by the time you miss your period and get a positive test, you're already considered about 4-5 weeks pregnant. This system can feel confusing, but it's the universal medical standard used by doctors worldwide.
A full-term pregnancy lasts 40 weeks (280 days) from the LMP. However, only about 5% of babies are born exactly on their due date. Most arrive within a two-week window around it.
Key Milestones in Your Pregnancy
Your pregnancy is divided into three trimesters, each with its own milestones and developments:
First Trimester (Weeks 1-13)
The most critical period of development. Your baby grows from a fertilized egg to a fetus with all major organs formed. The heart starts beating around week 6, and by week 12 your baby is about 2 inches long. This is when Ramzi theory gender prediction becomes possible. Morning sickness is common and your body is producing high levels of hCG.
Second Trimester (Weeks 14-27)
Often called the "honeymoon phase" — morning sickness typically fades and energy returns. Your baby starts moving, growing from about 3 inches to over 14 inches. The anatomy scan at 18-22 weeks is when most parents find out their baby's gender. Nub theory is most accurate at weeks 12-14, and skull theory works from week 12 onward.
Third Trimester (Weeks 28-40)
Your baby gains most of their weight during this final stretch — growing from about 2.5 lbs to an average birth weight of 7.5 lbs. You'll feel stronger kicks and stretches. Your doctor visits become more frequent, and you'll prepare for birth. At 37 weeks, your baby is considered full term.
How to Calculate Weeks of Pregnancy Manually
Count the number of days from the first day of your last period to today, then divide by 7. For example, if it's been 98 days since your LMP, you're 14 weeks pregnant (98 ÷ 7 = 14). Our due date calculator does this automatically and shows your complete pregnancy timeline.
When Can You Predict Your Baby's Gender?
Your pregnancy week determines which gender prediction methods are available to you:
- Weeks 6-10: Ramzi theory — placenta position analysis
- Weeks 11-14: Nub theory — nub angle analysis (most accurate around 13 weeks)
- Weeks 12+: Skull theory — cranial feature analysis
- Weeks 16-20: Anatomy scan ultrasound
- Weeks 10+: NIPT blood test (99%+ accuracy)
