Most pregnancy apps and doctors count the first month from the first day of your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). So if your last period started on Jan 1st, then Feb 1st would be the start of your second month. It's just a standard way to track weeks and trimesters.
From what I understood during my pregnancy, they count from the start of your last period. That's how my doctor explained it to me. But it's always best to ask your own gynac for the most accurate information for your specific case.
While generally it's counted from your last menstrual period, please always confirm your due date and stage of pregnancy with your gynac after your initial scans. They will give you the most accurate assessment for your health.
Honey, it's pretty simple. Doctors usually start counting your pregnancy from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). So, the first month actually includes about two weeks before you even conceived. Don't worry, it's completely normal and your doctor will keep track.
Haha, I barely remember my own name these days, let alone how I calculated the first month! But yes, everyone uses the Last Menstrual Period date. It gets simpler once the scans start, don't worry about it too much.
Don't overthink it, sweetie. They always count from the first day of your Last Menstrual Period (LMP), even though you haven't conceived then. It's just the standard medical way to calculate, and your gynac will refine the dates with your early scans.
My friends told me that the doctors start counting from the first day of your last period. It sounds a bit confusing because you're not pregnant then. But I guess it's a medical standard. I'm still learning these things.
Oh my god, I was so confused about this in the beginning! Is it from your last period or when you actually conceived? My doctor explained it but I still felt a little anxious about getting the dates right. Did anyone else struggle with this?
