Im so confused with this weeks vs months thing yaar. Doc says one number, my mom counts differently and i lose track completely. How do u all figure out exactly where u are? pls explain simply.
Please don't rely only on apps for calculation. My dates were a bit off, so my doctor did a dating scan in the early weeks which is the most accurate way.
It's best to note down your last period date. For regular tracking, apps are great, but if you have irregular periods, strictly ask your gynac to calculate via scan.
Don't get confused, beta. Doctors always count from the first day of your last period, not the day you conceived. So you are usually further along than you think!
Your pregnancy is 40 weeks long, which is roughly 9 months and 7 days. My doctor said they always count in weeks because development changes week by week.
Yes, calculate from your LMP. My mother was confused by the 9 months vs 40 weeks thing, but my doctor explained that 40 weeks is the standard medical way.
