I'm getting so confused yaar, my gynac counts in weeks but family keeps asking which month chal raha hai. The weeks and months never seem to match up for me. Can someone explain how to convert na?
My doctor calculated it from my last period date, making the full term 40 weeks. This week-by-week tracking was super important for me, especially when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and had to monitor my sugar and meals so strictly. So yes, always follow the doctor's week count rather than simple calendar months.
Oh, this month vs week calculation made me so anxious during my first trimester, honestly! I kept thinking why does everyone say 9 months when it's actually 40 weeks, which is more like 10 months? Gynac explained that they count from the last period date, so don't worry, it is totally normal to feel confused initially.
I felt so lost when my doc first said I was 8 weeks pregnant when I thought it was just a month! It turns out they calculate from your last period start date, which means your first two weeks are counted even before the baby is conceived. I felt so emotional realizing how my body was already preparing before I even knew.
Actually, pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your last period, not when u conceive. It is counted in 40 weeks, which makes it about 10 lunar months, quite tricky na! Even when I started my prenatal yoga and walking routines (only after my gynac gave me the green light, of course), I had to track everything in weeks rather than months.
Look, don't get confused by the standard 9 months thing. Doctors always count from the first day of your last period (LMP) because that's a fixed date they can rely on. So 40 weeks is the standard, which is roughly 9 calendar months and a few days. Keep it simple and track by weeks, it's much easier.
Haan na, starting me full confusion hota hai isme. Actually doctors first day of last period se check karte hain, isliye total 40 weeks banta hai. Calendar months thoda different hote hain, isliye week-by-week track karna hi sabse best hai, ho na?
When I was staying at my parents' house, my mummy and I would sit and count the weeks on the calendar. She explained that doctors start counting from your last period date, which basically adds two extra weeks before you even conceive! It felt a bit strange at first, but that's how the medical months are tracked.
