How to Calculate Pregnancy Months
Our pregnancy month calculator converts your pregnancy weeks into months using the standard medical approach. Unlike calendar months, pregnancy months are based on 4-week cycles, which is why a full-term pregnancy is 40 weeks but only 9 months.
Each pregnancy month represents approximately 4.3 weeks, providing a more intuitive way to track your pregnancy progress alongside the precise weekly measurements used by healthcare providers.

Understanding Pregnancy Trimesters
Pregnancy is divided into three trimesters, each with distinct characteristics and milestones. Our calculator shows you exactly which trimester you're in and what to expect.
Trimester Breakdown:
- • First trimester: Months 1-3 (Weeks 1-13)
- • Second trimester: Months 4-6 (Weeks 14-26)
- • Third trimester: Months 7-9 (Weeks 27-40)
- • Full-term pregnancy: 9 months = 40 weeks
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is pregnancy 9 months but 40 weeks?
Pregnancy months are based on 4.3-week cycles rather than calendar months. This is why 40 weeks equals approximately 9.3 pregnancy months, commonly rounded to 9 months.
Which trimester is the best time during pregnancy?
Many women find the second trimester (months 4-6) to be the most comfortable. Morning sickness often subsides, energy levels improve, and you're not yet feeling the physical discomfort of late pregnancy. This is often called the "golden months" of pregnancy.
How accurate is the pregnancy month calculator?
Our calculator uses the same method as healthcare providers, converting weeks to months using standard medical calculations. While very accurate, individual pregnancies may vary slightly, so always confirm with your healthcare provider.
