My last period was around mid last month but im honestly confused about counting weeks. Tested positive 3 days back and gynac appointment is next week. How do u all calculate it from period date? thoda confused hu.
Beta, count from the first day of your last period. Eat healthy ghar ka khana and take some light ginger water if you feel mild morning sickness. Rest well and keep yourself happy.
Actually calculating on your own can be tricky. In my case, there were complications so the doctor did a dating scan to be 100% sure. Pls book an appointment with your gynac to know the exact week.
Calculating is easy, just count the weeks from your LMP (last menstrual period). I did the same and had a smooth normal delivery later. It's an amazing phase, enjoy it!
Arey start me everything looks so confusing, I also panicked and kept searching online. Just check your last period date, that's how doctor calculates. Don't worry, it's very simple once you get the scan done.
The standard way to calculate is from the first day of your last period, but it's not always accurate if your cycle is irregular. Your gynac will do a dating scan around 8-12 weeks which is the gold standard. Better to wait for that.
Download some tracker apps like Flo or BabyCenter, they are super helpful. You just have to input your last period date and it calculates the exact weeks. I used to track my baby's size every week like that!
Honestly, the doctor will give you the exact due date during your first ultrasound. I remember being so confused about the weeks before my C-section. Just rest now because recovery takes time later on!
Just trust the process and stay positive, dear. Think of the date of your last period, that's your starting point. God has blessed you, so take care of your health first.
Listen, don't overthink this. Just count the weeks from the day your last period started. That is your gestational age, simple. Your doctor will confirm it anyway in the first scan.
