Doc told me my weeks based on my last period date and im a little confused how that math works. Matlab i conceived later than that na, so how does the counting start from before. Can someone explain simply?
Okay, so pregnancy is always calculated from the first day of your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). Even if you conceive two weeks later, those two weeks are still counted. This helps the doctors track everything consistently and predict your due date. Just make sure you remember your LMP accurately.
Oh, this is where apps are super helpful! You just put in the first day of your last period, and the app calculates everything for you, including your estimated due date and which week you're in. It's the standard medical way to date a pregnancy, even before conception actually happens. My app used to show me how big baby was each week based on this.
It's simple. Take the first day of your last period, and that's considered day 1 of your pregnancy. Your due date is then typically calculated as 40 weeks from that date. It's just a standard medical way of dating, don't overthink it. Just keep your dates clear for your doc.
Haan beta, they usually count from your last period's first day. Even before the baby is actually there! It sounds a bit strange, but that's how the doctors do it, to keep a standard. My mother always said to keep track of your periods properly, so you can tell the doctor correctly.
Honestly, I still find this so weird, lol! They count it from your last period, even before you're actually pregnant! Like, week one you're not even pregnant yet. Just remember your LMP date and tell your doc, they'll do all the math. My brain was too fuzzy to figure it out myself!
For many, pregnancy is typically counted from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). Even though conception happens later, this is the standard way your gynac will calculate it. If you have PCOS like me, your cycles might be irregular, so always tell your doc about your cycle length for accurate dating. Don't stress, they'll guide you.
