Pregnancy Tracking
Pregnancy is commonly tracked in weeks, making this conversion especially important for expectant parents:
Full-term pregnancy: 40 weeks = 280 days (from last menstrual period) First trimester: Weeks 1-12 (84 days) Second trimester: Weeks 13-26 (98 days) Third trimester: Weeks 27-40 (98 days)
Doctors use weeks because development milestones are measured weekly, but knowing days helps calculate due dates and track progress.

Project Planning Applications

6-week project: 42 days, or about 30 working days (excluding weekends) 12-week quarter: 84 days, or about 60 working days Sprint planning: 2-week sprints = 14 days = 10 working days
For working days, remember to subtract weekends (approximately 2/7 of total days) and holidays.
