Everyone keeps asking kitne month chal raha hai and i get so confused between weeks and months. My doc says weeks, family asks months, matlab how do i even convert it properly?
Look, pregnancy is technically calculated in weeks, not months. Doctors go by a 40-week calendar starting from your last period's start date. Just stick to the weeks your gynac tells you, it's way more accurate.
I calculated mine based on my cravings! Kidding, but doctors start counting from the first day of your last period. So even before you actually conceived, you were technically in week 1. Crazy, right? Now let me go eat some pani puri!
Because of my irregular periods due to PCOS, calculating by LMP was impossible for me. My doctor did a dating scan (ultrasound) in the early weeks to find the exact gestational age. If you have irregular cycles, don't guess, just trust the scan report.
It's very simple, dear. Just count from the first day of your last period (LMP). For example, if your LMP was 4 months ago, you are in your 4th month, even if conception happened later. No need to get confused.
Since I had to manage office schedules and maternity leaves, I used a simple online pregnancy wheel. You just input your Last Menstrual Period (LMP) date and it tells you the exact week and month instantly. It saves so much time and planning!
