Pregnancy Resource Center – Grand Rapids Michigan: The Right to Choose Means the Right to Know

If I am pregnant, how far along am I?

Gestational age is the medical term used to measure fetal age.  It is calculated from the first day of your last period.  A full-term pregnancy is approximately 40 weeks.  To roughly calculate your gestational age, you can add 7 days to the first day of your last period then subtract 3 months.  To get a more accurate date, an ultrasound is recommended.  Pregnancy Resource Centers offers free ultrasounds (some restrictions apply).  Contact us for more information.
