Newly pregnant and honestly confused about all this week counting. My doc said im 9 weeks but i dont get how the trimesters are divided. Can someone explain simply?
Trimesters are basically pregnancy's way of telling you, 'Okay, time for a new set of symptoms and maybe some wilder cravings!' haha. Seriously though, it's usually calculated from your last period date, and then they split the whole 9 months into three parts. Think of it as chapters in a very long, exciting book!
Beta, doc log toh bahut tareeke se calculate karte hain. Wo toh aapke last period ki tareekh se shuru karte hain aur usko 9 mahine aur kuch din gin kar calculate karte hain. Usi ko phir teen hisson mein baant dete hain, har hissa kareeb 3 mahine ka. Bas apna dhyan rakho, yeh hi sabse zaruri hai.
Haanji, ye toh doc log hi karte hain mainly. Wo tumhari last period ki date se counting shuru karte hain. Phir poore pregnancy ko jo 40 hafto ki hoti hai, usko teen trimesters mein baant dete hain. Har trimester 13-14 weeks ka hota hai na? Bas aise hi calculate hota hai.
When I was pregnant, my parents kept track of everything for me. My mom told me that generally, pregnancy is 40 weeks long, and they divide it into three parts of about 13 weeks each. The first day of your last period is usually taken as day one, which sounds a bit confusing but that's how the doc calculates it for the due date. It was nice having family support through it all.
My saas and my mom had their own ways of counting, 'Oh, abhi toh tera paanchva mahina chal raha hai!' But actually, the gynac calculates it from the first day of your last period, and then divides the total 40 weeks into three sections of roughly 13 weeks each. First, second, third trimester, that's how it works.
From my experience, the doctors count from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), even though conception happens later. Then they divide the whole 40 weeks into three trimesters. Each is roughly 13 weeks. This is just how they explain it to us when we go for check-ups, nothing too complicated from our side.
Oh, trimesters! I just knew it meant different cravings for different stages, haha! My doctor told me it's usually divided into three 13-week periods. So like, 1-13 weeks is first, 14-26 is second, and 27 onwards is third. That's when all the biryani cravings hit me hard, especially in the second!
