My last period was around 7 weeks back and i always get confused with this week counting. Doc appointment is next week but till then im just curious how to figure it out myself.
I just delivered recently, and I remember being so confused about this! Start counting from the first day of your last period, and that will give you your current week. Your doctor's ultrasound scan might adjust this date by a few days later, which is completely normal.
Just count from the start date of your last period. Knowing your exact week is great because then you can plan safe activities accordingly. I only started light prenatal yoga once my doctor allowed it after my first trimester dating scan.
No need to buy fancy trackers for this! Just download any free pregnancy calculator app and enter your last period date. It calculates your exact weeks and days instantly for free.
Haan, simple method hai, apna last period jis din start hua tha, wahan se count karna shuru karo. Gynac bhi wahi se count karte hain na. Har week ko monitor karna aasan ho jayega.
You should calculate your weeks starting from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). It sounds a bit strange because you weren't actually pregnant then, but that is the standard medical way! Congratulations on your journey!
My family was trying to calculate it using lunar months, but my doctor explained that we should count from the first day of the last period. I trusted my doctor's scan date as it is the most accurate way to track baby's growth. Ask your gynac during your next visit to be sure.
It's very easy! Just open a calendar and count the weeks from the first day of your last period. Don't worry if the calculation feels a bit off early on, your first dating scan will give you the exact week and due date.
