Everyone keeps asking me how many weeks and i genuinely get confused every time. Do we count from last period or from the date of conception? pls explain simply, i'm new to all this.
Yaar, ye toh sabse common question hai! Actually, doctors always count from the first day of your last period. So if your last period started on, say, Jan 1st, then even if you conceived later, Jan 1st is Week 1 Day 0. My gynac explained it like that. Confusing at first, but you get used to it with the apps.
Okay, so generally, pregnancy weeks are counted from the first day of your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). This actually means your 'first' two weeks are before conception! It's how doctors calculate your due date. Knowing the correct week helps me plan my safe workouts, always confirming with my gynac first.
I solely relied on my pregnancy apps for this, they're super accurate! You just input the first day of your last period (LMP), and the app automatically calculates your week, trimester, and even estimated due date. It makes tracking so easy and keeps you informed about your baby's development week by week.
