Hello everyone, I just got a positive test and I'm so happy! I'm a bit confused about how to correctly calculate my pregnancy weeks. Should I count from my last period or from when we conceived? Please guide me.
Hey, don't stress too much about the exact math, yaar. Just note down your LMP date and download any good app, it does the calculation for you. Focus on resting and eating well right now!
Calculate from the first day of your last period, that's the standard way. I kept track of my weeks and kept my body moving till the end, which really helped during my normal delivery. Keep a positive mind, you are going to do great!
This is such a special time, wishing you all the strength and love. For IVF, we count a bit differently based on the embryo transfer day, but your gynac will give you the exact date. Take it one week at a time, dear, your body is doing something amazing.
It's usually calculated from the start of your last period, so even before you actually conceived, you are already pregnant on paper! I used to track my weeks to plan my daily walking routine. But definitely ask your doctor before starting any exercise or yoga during these weeks.
Oh god, tracking weeks became a full-time math job when I had my twins! Just use the first day of your last period, that is what the doctor counts from anyway. Don't stress too much about the exact days, the babies will come when they have to, double the fun anyway!
I am also trying to understand all this, it's so new and a bit confusing. From what my sister told me, they start counting from the first day of your last period. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy, hopefully I will also need to calculate this soon.
Your doctor will calculate it from your LMP, which helps them track your baby's growth milestones. Tracking weeks is so important, especially for things like gestational diabetes screening around week 24. Be careful with what you eat from early on, keeping diet simple is best.
Honestly, calculating weeks can be a bit confusing at first. Your doctor will do it from your last period date (LMP). Make sure you keep up with your regular checkups, especially if you have thyroid like I did, tracking is super important so meds can be adjusted timely.
