How accurate is the pregnancy growth calculator?

This calculator provides general estimates based on typical fetal development patterns. Actual baby growth can vary, and this should not replace professional medical advice from your healthcare provider.

What trimester does each week belong to?

First trimester: weeks 1-13, Second trimester: weeks 14-27, Third trimester: weeks 28-40. Each trimester has distinct developmental milestones and changes.

Can I use this calculator for multiple pregnancies?

While the calculator provides general information, multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets) may have different growth patterns. Always consult your doctor for specific guidance on multiple pregnancies.

How often should I track my baby's growth during pregnancy?

Regular prenatal checkups with your healthcare provider are essential. Typically, growth scans are done at key milestones: 8-12 weeks (dating scan), 18-22 weeks (anatomy scan), and as needed in the third trimester.

Understanding Fetal Development

Pregnancy is an incredible journey of growth and development. From a single fertilized egg to a fully formed baby, the process involves remarkable changes each week.

Trimesters of Pregnancy

Pregnancy is divided into three trimesters, each with distinct developmental stages:

First Trimester (Weeks 1-13): Rapid development of major organs and body systems. The embryo becomes a fetus by week 8.
Second Trimester (Weeks 14-27): Continued growth and development. Mother can feel baby movements, and sex can often be determined.
Third Trimester (Weeks 28-40): Final growth and preparation for birth. Baby gains weight rapidly and organs mature.

Key Developmental Milestones

Throughout pregnancy, your baby achieves incredible milestones:

Week 4: Neural tube begins forming (brain and spinal cord)
Week 8: All major organs have begun forming
Week 12: Baby can make movements (though you can't feel them yet)
Week 20: You may feel baby movements (quickening)
Week 24: Baby viable with medical intervention
Week 28: Eyes open and close, can respond to light
Week 32: Rapid brain development
Week 36: Lungs nearly fully developed

Healthy Pregnancy Tips

Maintaining good health during pregnancy supports your baby's development and your well-being:

Nutrition During Pregnancy

Take prenatal vitamins with folic acid
Eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables
