I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm trying to understand how far along I am. How can I accurately calculate my pregnancy weeks? Is it from the last period or something else?
My mother always calculates by the lunar calendar, but modern doctors strictly go by the first day of your last period. It is always best to follow the doctor's ultrasound scan dating, as it is the most accurate.
You have to count from the first day of your last period, even though you weren't technically pregnant then! It's so confusing, right? I still get mixed up with the months and weeks, does anyone else also find it tricky?
I am planning my pregnancy now and was just reading about this! It's so interesting that they count those first two weeks before conception even happens. It seems a bit complicated but useful to know beforehand.
I just count my weeks by how my cravings are changing, haha! But seriously, use your last period date as day one. It helps you know exactly which week you are in so you can read up on what food is best for that stage.
First day of your last period (LMP) se calculate karte hain, haan na. Doctor bhi pehle wahi poochte hain calculation ke liye. You can easily use some online pregnancy tracker app too, simple ho jata hai.
It is calculated from your LMP, which helps doctors track growth milestones. Tracking weeks carefully is so important, especially for scheduling glucose tests on time later on. Keep a small diary to note your weekly progress.
Just count the weeks starting from your last period's start date, that's the standard medical way. Don't worry too much about exact days, your dating scan (ultrasound) will give you a very clear estimate of your due date anyway!
Yes dear, pregnancy is counted as 40 weeks starting from your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). Even if you conceived 2 weeks later, doctors always use LMP. Download a nice pregnancy app, it makes tracking weeks super easy!
