Everyone keeps asking me how many weeks I am and honestly I get confused counting. Do we count from the first day of last period or later? pls help me understand na.
I was so confused by this! My doctor says I'm 18 weeks, but my app says something slightly different. How do you guys track it—by weeks or by months? It gets so confusing to explain to family!
In our times, we just counted 9 months from the missed period. But nowadays, doctors count from the first day of your last cycle to be exact. Eat a handful of soaked almonds daily to keep your strength up during these weeks.
The hospital staff explained to me that pregnancy is calculated in gestational weeks, starting from the LMP. Ask your gynecologist to print out your trimester schedule during your next visit. It makes tracking so much easier and clearer.
It is always counted in weeks from your last period's first day, making it a 280-day cycle. I kept track of every single week until my planned C-section. Take it one week at a time, it helps you prepare mentally.
Doctors always count pregnancy by weeks, starting from the first day of your last period. Don't confuse yourself by counting actual days. Just track the weeks, 40 weeks is the full term.
Counting weeks can feel so long, especially when you are throwing up every day like I was! They start counting from your last period, even before you actually conceive. Try to stay hydrated with coconut water to get through those early weeks.
