Just got my positive test and im so confused how they count the weeks. Matlab do they start from last period ya from conception? pls help me understand.
I remember being so confused by this when my nausea started. Pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your last period, not the day you missed it. Use an online pregnancy wheel, it makes the math super simple.
It’s a very common doubt! Week 1 of pregnancy is actually the week of your last period. The medical world counts those 40 weeks starting from your LMP, so your first week is before conception even happens.
Uff, pregnancy math is wild! You are basically 'pregnant' for two weeks before you even conceive, according to doctors. Just check the date of your last period's first day, that's your starting point.
In my case, I just put my last period date in a pregnancy tracking app, and it did all the calculations for me. It showed my first week starting from my LMP. It's much easier than doing the mental math!
