Just got my positive test na and im so excited but bohot confused how to count the due date. Do u go from last period or scan? pls explain how u all did it.
Knowing the exact week is very important to track baby's growth, especially for diet control if needed later. My due date was slightly off, but the scans helped us monitor everything closely. It really helped me manage my sugar levels and diet on time.
Actually, it is calculated from the first day of your last period, yaar. You just add 9 months and 7 days to that date. Gynac will anyway tell you the exact date during your first dating scan, so don't stress.
You can do a rough calculation online using LMP, but the actual date comes from the first ultrasound. Make sure to keep some budget aside for the early scans and blood tests, they can be a bit expensive. Planning early helps manage the delivery costs later.
I used an online pregnancy calculator and it showed Oct 14, but my doctor's scan says Oct 20! Anyone else facing this difference? Which date should I actually follow for maternity leave planning?
