Im so confused with this whole week counting yaar. Doc told me one number but the app shows something else and now i dont know which to trust. How do u all actually figure out the correct week?
In our culture, elders often calculate from the last period date, or try to guess. But for proper medical accuracy, your doctor will use your LMP and then confirm with an early ultrasound. That scan gives the most precise dating, so trust what your gynac says.
Oh, calculating weeks! I remember those early days when every week felt like a milestone, especially with morning sickness. The easiest way is usually from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). You can find many online calculators, or your gynac will confirm your due date and week number.
Many women calculate from the first day of their last period (LMP), and then your doctor does an ultrasound to confirm the actual gestational age. That's the most accurate way. Don't stress too much, the doctor will tell you everything you need to know at your first appointment.
My mother used to say to count from the first day of your last period. That's how we always did it in our family. The doctor will also calculate it for you during your first visit and tell you exactly how far along you are. Don't worry, it's a simple calculation.
Oh god, I'm in my 3rd trimester and honestly, sometimes I just tell people 'very pregnant'! But seriously, everyone uses the first day of their last period (LMP) as a starting point. Then the doctor's ultrasound will give you the actual dates. Good luck, hope you're not too tired yet like me!
