Im so confused with all this week counting business. My last period was somewhere mid last month and I cant figure out how far along I am. How do u even calculate it properly?
I was so confused about how 9 months became 40 weeks, I actually panicked thinking I calculated wrong! But it's totally normal, doctors always count by weeks starting from your last period. Don't worry, your gynac will explain your exact gestational age during your first scan.
Humare yahan toh sab 9 mahine hi bolte hain, par doctor ise 40 weeks ginte hain. Yeh aapke aakhri period ke pehle din se shuru hota hai. Aap bilkul chinta mat karo, sab dheere dheere samajh aa jayega.
Beta, traditional way says 9 months, but nowadays doctors count it as 40 weeks from your last period date. Make sure you take care of your diet and have warm milk with a little ghee if your doctor allows. Stay happy and rest well.
A normal pregnancy is about 40 weeks, which is roughly 9 months and 10 days. You calculate it from the first day of your last period, not the date you missed. Just download an app or ask your doctor to give you the exact due date.
Honestly, at 38 weeks, it feels like this pregnancy has lasted for 5 years, haha! But yes, it is legally 40 weeks. Just count from your last period's first day and you'll know where you stand.
Because of my PCOS, my periods were always irregular, so calculating my pregnancy length was very tricky. If you have irregular cycles, don't rely on online calculators. Let your doctor do a dating ultrasound, as that gives the most accurate gestational age.
