Honestly im so confused with this week counting. My last period date and the scan date both show different things and i cant figure out how they count it. Can someone explain in simple words pls?
Oh, all the elders at home explained this to me! They said the doctor counts from the start of your last period. My saasuma used to tell me about how her generation used to estimate based on body signs, but now with scans, it's so accurate. Just tell your doctor your last period date.
The standard way is to count from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). Your doctor will confirm the due date based on your first ultrasound scan, usually around 8-12 weeks. That's pretty much it. Simple calculation, but the scan is the final word.
Generally, it's calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period. It means by the time you actually get a positive test, you're already 4-5 weeks along! My gynac used the LMP method and then confirmed it with the dating scan. It's good to know for planning your workouts, but always ensure your doctor clears everything.
Hello! Yes, it's a common question. Pregnancy is officially calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), not from when you actually conceived. So, if your last period started on Jan 1st, then Jan 1st is Week 1 Day 0 of your pregnancy. Your first ultrasound will help confirm the due date. Hope this helps!
During my complicated pregnancy, tracking the weeks accurately was very important. Doctors usually calculate from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). However, if there's any doubt or irregular periods, an early ultrasound is used to establish a more precise gestational age. Always rely on what your doctor says after scans.
This is a beautiful journey, dear. The weeks are usually counted from the first day of your last menstrual period. But remember, the actual conception might be two weeks later. Just focus on staying positive and healthy, and let your doctor guide you. Everything will be perfect by God's grace.
Basically, they start counting from the first day of your last period. Even if you conceived a couple of weeks after that. This can be confusing na? But it's how all docs do it. The first scan will give a more accurate due date, so don't stress too much about the exact day yourself.
This is such an important question for new moms! My doctor calculated my pregnancy from the first day of my last menstrual period (LMP). It felt a bit strange at first, because you're not actually pregnant yet at that point. I track everything very carefully now. So sorry if this sounds a bit much, just want to be clear.
Oh, the pregnancy week calculation! Honestly, my mind was always on what I could eat next, haha. But yes, it's generally counted from the first day of your last period. Your doctor will confirm with the first ultrasound, which is super exciting! Think of all the yummy treats you'll be having!
Yaar, it's actually super simple, but confusing initially. They calculate from the first day of your last period (LMP), not from when you had sex or ovulated. So, even if you did the deed like, two weeks later, they still count from LMP. Gynac will confirm with your first scan. Pretty standard system, haan.
Beta, they calculate it from the first day of your last period, not from the day you became pregnant. It sounds a little strange, ho na? But this is how it has been done for many years. Your doctor will make sure all the dates are correct for your due date. Just eat well and take care, that's important.
Okay so medically, pregnancy is dated from the first day of your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). This gives you a gestational age. However, early ultrasounds, typically around 7-10 weeks, are used to measure the baby and confirm the Estimated Due Date (EDD) because LMP can sometimes be inaccurate, especially with irregular cycles. So, it's a combination of both for accuracy.
