Just found out im pregnant and everyone is asking how far along I am but I genuinely dont know. My periods are a bit irregular too. how do u even count the weeks properly?
They usually go by your last period date, haan. But my gynac did an early scan to confirm, jo GD ke liye important tha to track baby's size and development properly. So jo doc bolte hain, wahi best hai, especially if you have any health conditions.
Hahah, calculation? Girl, by 3rd trimester, you just stop calculating and start *waiting*. But seriously, the doctor typically uses your last period date and then adjusts it with the first scan for accuracy. After that, it's just a countdown to pain, I mean, baby!
So basically, there are two main ways doctors calculate it. Either from your last menstrual period (LMP) date, which is the most common starting point. Ya phir through an early ultrasound scan, which is usually more accurate if your periods are irregular. My doctor told me they often use both to get the most precise due date.
Honestly, best to let your doctor calculate it properly. Mere saath thyroid issues the, so they were very particular about exact dates for monitoring baby's growth and everything. Pls just follow what your gynac says, that's safest.
Oh god, this calculation confused me so much initially! I kept re-calculating mere phone pe using different apps. But eventually, my doctor just confirmed it with the first scan date. Don't stress too much over it, okay, they will tell u clearly.
This is such an important question, especially for us who've been through a lot. My doctor always calculated it from the first scan to be super precise. It just felt safer knowing exact dates for monitoring everything carefully, u know. Pls follow your doc's advice closely, they know best.
