Im super confused about how the week counting works. Doc said im 9 weeks but my own calculation se it feels different. From which date do u even start counting? Pls someone explain in simple way.
They usually count from the first day of your last period, and then the first scan refines the date. My C-section was planned based on those calculations, so it's quite important. Your doctor will make sure it's accurate.
Bahut simple hai! Jo tumhari last period ki date thi na, uske pehle din se count karte hain. Google pe calculator bhi mil jaate hain. Lekin apna doc jo bataye, woh final hota hai.
It's generally calculated from your Last Menstrual Period (LMP), but the most accurate way is for your gynac to confirm with an early ultrasound. Please make an appointment so they can give you the precise count and due date.
Oh, this is such an important question! I'm trying to conceive and have been reading that it's usually from the last period. I hope I can count those weeks soon. It must be so exciting!
It starts from the first day of your last period, that's the standard. Don't worry too much about perfect calculation, your gynac will give you an exact due date with the scans. Just enjoy each week as it comes!
Haha, with twins, counting felt like a math problem! 😂 But seriously, it's usually from the first day of your last period (LMP). Your first ultrasound will give you the most accurate date though, that's what my doc relied on.
Girl, I swear sometimes I'd forget if it was week 20 or 21! 😂 But the simplest way is from your last period date. Or just let your doc do the math, they're the experts, saves you the headache!
At my hospital, they always started counting from the first day of my last period, and then confirmed it very precisely with the early dating scan. The doctor will explain it all in detail during your first appointment, no need to worry.
Most doctors calculate pregnancy from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). However, your dating scan (ultrasound) usually provides a more accurate estimated due date and week count. Always best to confirm with your gynac during your first visit.
For IVF pregnancies, the counting is a bit different, based on retrieval or transfer date. But for natural conception, it's usually from your last period. It's a special journey, no matter how you count the weeks. Your doctor will help clarify everything.
