Pregnancy Due Date & Week-by-Week Calculator

Pregnancy ek beautiful journey hai jo generally 40 weeks (280 days) tak chalti hai. Due date ka calculation Naegele's Rule ke zariye kiya jata hai - yaani aap ki last menstrual period (LMP) ki pehli tareekh mein 280 days add kar ke. Ye method 1800s se use ho raha hai aur aaj bhi standard hai.

Hamari calculator aap ko due date, current gestational age, trimester, aur conception date sab batati hai. Saath mein aap ka current week aur baby ki development stage bhi - taake aap ko pata chale ke is waqt aap ke baby mein kya ho raha hai.

Naegele's Rule Kya Hai?

Dr. Franz Naegele ne 1830 mein ye rule develop kiya tha. Is ke mutabiq:

• LMP ki pehli tareekh mein 280 days add karein
• Ya phir: 7 days add karein, 3 months minus karein, aur 1 year add karein
• Result = Estimated Due Date (EDD)

Lekin ye rule 28-day cycle ke liye hai. Agar aap ka cycle longer ya shorter hai, to due date adjust hogi. Hamari calculator cycle length ko automatically adjust karti hai.

Trimesters Kya Hote Hain?

Pregnancy ko 3 trimesters mein divide kiya jata hai:

First Trimester (Weeks 1-12)

Ye sab se critical trimester hai. Baby ke saare major organs form ho rahe hain. Neural tube (jo brain aur spinal cord banata hai) pehle 4 weeks mein develop hota hai. Is waqt mother ko morning sickness, fatigue, aur mood swings ho sakte hain.

• Week 4-5: Heart starts beating, baby is size of sesame seed
• Week 8: Baby is size of kidney bean, fingers/toes form
• Week 12: Baby is size of plum, all organs formed

Second Trimester (Weeks 13-26)

Ye "honeymoon period" kehlata hai kyunke morning sickness kam hoti hai aur energy wapas aati hai. Baby ki movement feel hogi (quickening). Baby ki skin, hair, aur nails develop hote hain.

• Week 16: Baby can hear sounds, gender visible on ultrasound
• Week 20: Halfway point! Baby is size of banana
• Week 24: Baby viable (can survive with intensive care)

Third Trimester (Weeks 27-40)

Baby weight gain karta hai aur lungs mature hote hain. Mother ko back pain, swelling, aur frequent urination ho sakti hai. Baby head-down position mein aa jata hai.

• Week 28: Baby opens eyes, brain develops rapidly
• Week 32: Baby practices breathing
• Week 36: Baby considered "early term"
• Week 40: Full term - due date!

Pakistan Mein Pregnancy Care

Pakistan mein pregnancy care improving hai. Government hospitals mein free services available hain (Lady Health Workers program). Private hospitals mein better facilities hain lekin cost zyada hai. Gynecologist ko regularly visit karein aur prescribed vitamins lein. Pakistan mein folic acid aur iron supplements easily available hain.

1. LMP date enter karein: Apni pichli mahwari ki pehli tareekh enter karein. Ye sab se important step hai.
2. Cycle length: Agar aap ka cycle 28 days ka hai to default value rehne dein. Agar zyada ya kam hai to adjust karein.
3. Results dekhein: Calculator aap ko due date, current week, trimester, conception date, aur days remaining sab batayega.
4. Trimester info: Aap kis trimester mein hain aur is waqt baby mein kya ho raha hai - ye bhi pata chalega.

Note: Ye calculator estimate deta hai. Actual due date thori pehle ya baad mein ho sakti hai. Sirf 5% babies apni due date par paida hote hain.
