Test came positive 2 days back, im so happy but also confused how to count the weeks. Do i start from missed period date or somewhere else? Saas keeps asking kitna mahina and i genuinely dont know what to say.
Actually, doctors calculate your weeks based on the first day of your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). My doctor explained that because the exact conception date is hard to pinpoint, this standard 40-week count starts from your LMP. So even on the day of your missed period, you are technically considered about 4 weeks pregnant.
Generally, you count from the first day of your last period. It’s a simple way to keep track of your months at home. But remember, if you ever feel any severe cramping or spotting during these early weeks, don't try home remedies—consult your doctor immediately.
You should download a pregnancy tracker app like Flo or BabyCenter, they make it so easy! You just enter the date of your last period, and it automatically calculates your weeks and due date. It really saved me from doing all the confusing math myself!
I know how confusing and stressful it is to calculate all of this, especially in the beginning when everything feels so uncertain. Normally, pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), not the day you missed. Just take a deep breath, you are doing great.
