Just found out im pregnant and im totally confused how doctors count the weeks. My last period date I remember but matlab how to figure out due date from that? Pls explain simply.
You can easily calculate it online using LMP to plan your finances for scans and delivery early. Standard calculations count from your last period's first day. Save up for those initial trimester tests!
I felt so emotional when I calculated my due date! I just used the first day of my last period and added 9 months and 7 days. It felt so real seeing that date.
Since I did IVF, my transfer date was used for calculation, but for natural pregnancy, they use the first day of your last period (LMP). Sending u so much love on your beautiful journey.
Just use any free online pregnancy calculator, they ask for your last period date (LMP). No need to do complex math. It gives a close estimate, and then doc will tell the final date.
The standard medical method is based on your LMP (Last Menstrual Period). However, the dating scan done by your gynac in the first trimester is the most accurate way to confirm it.
I stayed with my parents, and my mom helped me count using the traditional calendar from my last period date. Usually, doctors count 40 weeks from your LMP, which is the easiest way.
I was throwing up so badly when trying to calculate this! Standard way is to add 280 days to the first day of your last period. Your doctor will confirm the exact date in your first scan.
