I just found out im pregnant but my periods are always irregular so im confused about how far along i am. The doctor will tell me na but i want to understand how they calculate it. How is the date decided?
When I was at my parents' place, my mom helped me calculate the due date using the first day of my last period. Your doctor will also confirm this during your first scan.
The doctor usually calculates it from the first day of your last period (LMP). Make sure to keep up with your regular check-ups to track baby's growth accurately.
Don't stress too much about finding the exact date! Just remember your LMP (last menstrual period) and the doctor will do the math for you during the ultrasound.
I totally understand the magical feeling of wanting to know the exact day your little one was conceived! Usually, doctors count from your last period date (LMP) as the starting point.
