Are you pregnant? In fact, you were waiting for it, weren't you? But now you will be more anxiously waiting your due date. Even if you are not expecting but are planning to conceive, even then this will help you plan your pregnancy. You can literally count the days with the help of a pregnancy calculator - a fast, reliable, and effective way to calculate the likely big day in your life.

In fact, this easy-to-use pregnancy calculator helps you determine not only your approximate due date, but also the fetal age, conception date, and the date of the trimester. Actually, the calculation is so simple that you can do it yourself. However, before using this calculator, you should know and understand some of the terms related to pregnancy.

* Gestational Or Fetal Age - It is the age of an embryo or fetus or newborn infant.
* Embryo - An organism in its early stages of development, especially before it reaches a distinctively recognizable form. After eight weeks of development, an embryo is commonly referred to as fetus.
* Prenatal Period - It is the period immediately before and after birth of the baby. It ...
... starts between the 20th and 28th week of gestation and ends 1-4 weeks after birth.
* Postnatal Period - It is the period beginning immediately after the birth of a child and extending about six weeks.
* Gestational Period - It is the time in which the fetus develops. It begins with fertilization and ends at birth.

Just try to remember the date of the first day of your last menstrual period or LMP and add 280 days to it. Some online calculators also ask for the average length of your cycles, which ranges between 22 and 44 days. Based on these two estimates, a pregnancy calculator can help you know your estimated fertility date range, estimated conception, gestational, and due date. You can count the number of weeks since the onset of your last menstrual cycle and see how far you are in your pregnancy. You can subtract two weeks to get the estimated age of your baby. However, you should also keep in mind that you cannot do an actual diagnosis. The calculations that you get will be estimates based on averages.

A pregnancy calculator cannot determine the exact date because it is difficult to calculate the due date on the basis of conception date. It is difficult to determine the conception date because the sperm lives for about two days and ovum for about three. But the menstrual cycle can give a rough idea and usually conception occurs 14 days after the onset of the menstrual cycle.

You can also calculate your pregnancy week-by-week using this calculator and on the basis of the calculation, see the changes in your body, observe the pregnancy symptoms, and know about the fetal development. There are calculators available online that claim to determine the sex of the baby. Be it a boy or girl, the most important thing is the health of the mother and the baby.

So have a happy pregnancy time, which you have calculated with the help of the pregnancy calculator.
