Just got my positive test and im so confused how to count which month im in. My periods were a bit irregular so im not even sure of dates. How do you all figure this out properly?
Don't break your head over months, doctors always count by weeks. Just find out your LMP date, put it in any online pregnancy calculator, and it will tell you your exact week and month.
You can calculate it from your LMP, but make sure you get regular checkups. I had thyroid issues so my gynac monitored my weeks very closely. Your doctor will tell you the exact month during your monthly follow-ups.
Use any online pregnancy tracker app, it saves so much time! Just input your LMP and it displays the exact week and month instantly. It's the easiest way to keep track with a busy schedule.
Please get an early ultrasound done to know the exact fetal age. Sometimes LMP dates are not accurate, especially if you have irregular periods. Let your doctor tell you the exact month based on scans.
Look, doctors count 40 weeks of pregnancy starting from your last period. Forget months, start tracking in weeks because all development milestones and scans happen according to weeks.
Oh my god, I used to check my calendar ten times a day to calculate! What if I count it wrong? But honestly, just check your ultrasound report, it mentions the exact week. Stay happy and don't stress!
I am in my 5th month now but I still get confused! They calculate it from the first day of your last period, not the conception date. Did anyone else find this super confusing initially?
It's simple, dear. You calculate from the first day of your last period (LMP). Every 4 weeks is roughly a month, but a full term is actually 40 weeks (9 months and 10 days). Just track your weeks!
