Formula

#
Core Formula
Pregnancy spans 40 weeks: 1-12 (T1), 13-27 (T2), 28-40 (T3).

How it works: Calculates the current phase of pregnancy based on LMP or Due Date.

Worked Example

20 weeks pregnant: falls within weeks 13-27, so you are in the second trimester. Time remaining in this trimester: 7 weeks. The second trimester is the rapid growth phase when fetal movement becomes noticeable.

Understanding Pregnancy Trimesters

Pregnancy is traditionally divided into three trimesters, each lasting roughly 13 weeks. These phases represent distinct stages of fetal development.

  • First Trimester (Weeks 1 to 12): Foundation and organogenesis phase.
  • Second Trimester (Weeks 13 to 26): Rapid growth and observable movement phase.
  • Third Trimester (Weeks 27 to 40+): Final development and preparation for birth.
  • Each trimester brings unique physical changes and nutritional needs.

While the 40-week timeline is standard, individual pregnancies can vary.

You can also calculate changes using our Pregnancy Due Date Calculator, Gestational Age Calculator, Pregnancy Week Calculator by Due Date, Pregnancy Month Calculator, Pregnancy Weight Gain Calculator or Conception Date Calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the first trimester end?

The first trimester typically ends at the completion of week 12.

Which trimester is the longest?

Technically, all three are approximately the same length (13-14 weeks), though the third trimester can feel longer as you approach the due date.

What is the "fourth trimester"?

The "fourth trimester" refers to the first three months after birth, focusing on postpartum recovery for the mother and the baby's adjustment to life outside the womb. It is not an official medical term but is widely used in parenting guidance.

What are key milestones in each trimester?

First trimester (weeks 1-12): heartbeat detectable by week 6, all major organs forming. Second trimester (weeks 13-27): fetal movement felt around weeks 16-20, anatomy scan at weeks 18-22. Third trimester (weeks 28-40): lungs mature, baby gains significant weight, and positioning for birth occurs.
