How to calculate pregnancy weeks calculator?

Question

I'm trying to figure out how many weeks pregnant I am, and I'm a bit lost with all the online calculators. How do I correctly use a pregnancy weeks calculator to find my current week and due date?

Use an online calculator with your LMP date. Keeping an accurate track of weeks is super important for timing your glucose tests and diet checks.

My family used to calculate by months, but the doctor always calculated using weeks from the LMP. It is best to trust the doctor's scan date.

My doctor explained that pregnancy weeks are counted from the first day of your last period, adding about two weeks before actual conception. That is why scans might show a slightly different week.

Just download a standard pregnancy app and enter your LMP. It automatically calculates and keeps updating the weeks for you every week.

Honestly, my pregnancy brain couldn't do any math, so I just let the apps do it! Just enter your last period's start date and relax.
