6 Weeks Pregnant — Calculating Your Due Date

    At 6 weeks, you're early in the first trimester. Most pregnancies are dated from LMP, so 6 weeks = roughly 4 weeks since conception.

    Counting from 6 weeks

    Add 34 weeks (238 days) to today's date for your estimated due date. Example: today is June 1 → EDD around January 26.

    What's happening at 6 weeks

    The embryo is about the size of a lentil. The heart starts beating around 6 weeks and can sometimes be seen on ultrasound.

    What to focus on now

    Book your first prenatal appointment, start a prenatal vitamin with folate, and manage early symptoms (fatigue, nausea, tender breasts).
