Mujhe abhi pata chala main pregnant hu aur sab puchh rahe kitne weeks chal rahe, mujhe khud samajh nahi aa raha kaise count karte. Last period ki date se karte hai ya conceive wali date se? Thoda confusing lag raha, koi simple way me samjha do.
During my pregnancy, my doctor just asked me for the date of my Last Menstrual Period (LMP). Then they did an ultrasound to confirm the dates. I just followed what my gynac told me, I don't give any advice on how to calculate it yourself.
It's simple. Your pregnancy is calculated from the first day of your Last Menstrual Period (LMP), not from when you conceived. So, if your LMP was 4 weeks ago, you're 4 weeks pregnant. Your ultrasound will confirm the due date.
I remember being so confused by this! It feels like you're counting weeks you weren't even pregnant for! But doctors always start from the first day of your last period. Just trust your gynac, they'll give you the exact week and due date from your scans. It's a beautiful journey ahead.
Usually, they calculate it from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). It's a little confusing at first because you're not actually pregnant for the first couple of weeks. But your doctor will help you track it. Take care.
Oh my god, this calculation confused me so much initially! I'm in my second trimester now, and my gynac uses my Last Menstrual Period (LMP) as the starting point, even though I know I conceived later. Did anyone else find this method a bit weird at first?
