Doc told me my due date but i keep getting confused counting which week im in. Is there an easy way to work backwards from the due date? feeling a bit silly asking but genuinely lost lol.
My hospital's app has a digital calculator that does this automatically based on the scan date. But you can also just ask your doctor's desk to explain the exact week count at your next visit.
Standard pregnancy is 40 weeks, so you can calculate backward from your due date. However, the dating scan done by your gynac is the gold standard, so always trust their official week count.
When I was expecting, I used to count backwards 40 weeks from my due date to find the rough start week. It can be a bit confusing, but your doctor's dating scan is always the most accurate.
My MIL told me to just keep track of the months, but modern doctors calculate by weeks from the last period date. You can subtract 40 weeks from your due date to get the starting week.
Actually yaar, counting backward from the due date can be tricky. It's much simpler to put your due date in an online pregnancy calculator and it gives you the exact weeks in a second!
