Pregnancy Wheel

The classic clinician's gestational wheel, online. Enter your due date or last period to see exactly where you sit on the 40-week dial.

1st trimester
2nd trimester
3rd trimester
This wheel mirrors the paper gestational calculators used in prenatal clinics, based on a standard 280-day (40-week) pregnancy from Naegele's rule. Your care provider's dating, especially from an early ultrasound, always takes priority over any wheel-based estimate.

Common questions

What is a pregnancy wheel?

It's a circular gestational calculator that clinicians have traditionally used as a paper slide-rule tool — lining up your last period date on an outer ring instantly shows your due date, current week and trimester on an inner scale. This page recreates that same dial digitally.

How accurate is a pregnancy wheel?

It's exactly as accurate as any standard due-date estimate — built on Naegele's rule (280 days from the last period), which assumes a typical 28-day cycle with ovulation around day 14. An early ultrasound is generally considered more precise for irregular cycles.

Can I use my due date instead of my last period?

Yes — switch to the "Due date" option above and we'll work backward from it to plot the same position on the wheel, no last-period date required.

What do the three colors on the wheel mean?

Each color marks one trimester: the first third of the dial covers weeks 1–13, the middle covers weeks 14–27, and the final stretch covers weeks 28 through birth around week 40.
