Just found out im pregnant and honestly so confused how to count the weeks, from period date ya conception? matlab the maths is not clicking for me. someone explain pls.
At my hospital, the coordinator explained that they calculate it from the first day of your last menstrual period. They also cross-verify this with the first ultrasound dating scan to be precise. You can ask your hospital's obstetric nurse to explain the chart to you clearly.
You count from the first day of your last period. Don't worry about buying expensive tracking devices or paying for early extra scans just for this. The basic dating scan done around 8-10 weeks will give you the exact date anyway.
Ugh, pregnancy math is wild! You basically count from the first day of your last period, which means you're technically 'pregnant' before you even conceive. My sleep-deprived brain could barely handle it, so I just let the doctor's dating scan do the final calculation!
I am planning to conceive soon and was wondering about this too! So we count from the LMP first day, right? It seems a bit confusing but good to know before we start tracking.
Haan, ye calculation hamesha first day of your last period se hoti hai, conceiving date se nahi. So, count from the day your last period started, okay? Doctor bhi isi tarah calculate karte hain na.
