My doctor usually talks in weeks, but my family asks about months. How do I accurately count my pregnancy months, starting from my last period? I want to keep track correctly.
Yaar, actually counting in months is so old-school and confusing. Doctors always talk in weeks! But roughly, 4 weeks is 1 month, 8 weeks is 2 months, and so on. Just use an online calculator to make your life simple.
I am in my second trimester and still get so confused when relatives ask which month I am in! I have to constantly calculate from my last period date. Does anyone else also struggle to explain the weeks vs months thing to family?
The standard medical way to count is starting from the first day of your last period, not the conception date. Since doctor visits are always based on weeks, it is best to ask your gynac to clarify your current week and month during your next scan to avoid any confusion.
Honestly, counting by months can get so confusing because pregnancy is actually 40 weeks, which is about 10 months! I just used a pregnancy tracking app where I entered my Last Menstrual Period (LMP) date, and it tracked the weeks and months perfectly for me.
