Just found out im pregnant and everyone keeps asking how many weeks but honestly im confused how to count. Do we go from last period date? thoda explain kar do pls.
The easiest way is to use an online due date calculator. You just input the first day of your last period. The doctor will confirm the gestational age with your first ultrasound, which is usually more accurate than self-counting. Keep a track of your LMP date, it's crucial for your medical records.
Sweetie, normally it's counted from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). That's how doctors usually calculate it. You can just count the weeks from that date on a calendar. But your first ultrasound will give you a more accurate due date by measuring the baby. All the best for your journey!
Always, always confirm your pregnancy weeks and due date with your gynecologist. They use the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) and then cross-reference with an early ultrasound scan for accuracy. It's important for monitoring baby's growth and planning appointments. Pls consult your doc for precise dating.
Oh god, pregnancy weeks! I remember trying to count them on my fingers and getting confused all the time, especially with baby brain hitting hard. Just give your LMP to the doctor, they're the pros. Then download an app, it'll do all the counting for you automatically! One less thing to remember, thank god.
I remember just trying to survive those weeks with all the nausea, let alone count them properly! But yeah, from the first day of your last period is the standard way. If you can't remember that, the early ultrasound scan (dating scan) will tell you exactly how many weeks you are. Hang in there, it gets better!
I totally freaked out because I couldn't remember my exact LMP date. But my doctor just did an ultrasound and they could tell exactly how far along I was from the baby's size and development. So even if you're unsure about your dates, don't panic, the scan will clarify everything perfectly.
It's super exciting to track your weeks! Generally, it's calculated from the first day of your last period. You can use any pregnancy app, they do a great job of showing you baby's development week-by-week. Your dating scan around 7-9 weeks will give you a very accurate estimate and due date. Enjoy this beautiful journey!
