I keep getting confused whenever the doctor says im x weeks pregnant. Like do we count from last period or from conception? It just doesnt add up in my head. Can someone explain how u all keep track?
I just entered my last period date in a pregnancy app and it counted the weeks automatically. So convenient and it matched what my doctor said. The early ultrasound fine tuned the date for me.
I got so confused with this in the start, like how am I 6 weeks when I just found out. Then my doctor explained it counts from last period, made sense after that. The scan gave the exact week na.
Doctors count from the first day of your last period, not from conception, so you are already counted as a couple weeks pregnant before you even conceive. My gynac confirmed the exact weeks with an early scan. The scan dating is the most reliable.
