Overview. Pregnancy lasts an average of 280 days (40 weeks) from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). The first day of your LMP is considered day one of pregnancy, even though you probably didnt conceive until about two weeks later (fetal development lags two weeks behind your pregnancy dates).
How is LMP calculated in pregnancy?
Most pregnancies last around 40 weeks (or 38 weeks from conception), so typically the best way to estimate your due date is to count 40 weeks, or 280 days, from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). Another way to do it is to subtract three months from the first day of your last period and add seven days.
