just found out im pregnant and im confused how to count the weeks. matlab from which date do we start counting? my periods were a bit irregular so even more confused. how did u all figure it out?
I totally understand the excitement of wanting to know the exact date! It is calculated from the start of your last period, so you are actually pregnant before conception technically happens.
You calculate from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). However, please let your doctor do an early dating scan to get the most accurate and safe timeline.
I am trying to figure this out too! It is so confusing that they count those weeks before the baby is even conceived, but apparently that's the standard way.
Use your last period date as the starting point. But make sure to visit your gynac regularly so they can monitor your hormone levels and calculate properly.
