Frequently asked questions

How are pregnancy weeks counted?

From the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), about two weeks before conception. A full-term pregnancy is 40 weeks (280 days) from LMP.

How many weeks is each trimester?

First trimester: weeks 1–13; second: weeks 14–27; third: week 28 until birth.

Is 40 weeks 9 months?

Forty weeks is about 9 months and 1 week from the LMP — which is why pregnancy is often described as nine months.
