It is calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), not from the day you conceived. So if your last period started 6 weeks ago, you are considered 6 weeks pregnant. Your doctor will confirm this with an early ultrasound scan.
You should download apps like BabyCenter or Flo, they make it so easy! You just enter your last period date (LMP) and it instantly tells you your exact weeks and days. It even shows how big the baby is each week.
Haha, my math brain completely stopped working during pregnancy! Honestly, just let the ultrasound doctor tell you the exact age of the baby during your dating scan. It is way easier than trying to calculate days yourself.
I am in my second trimester now, but in the beginning, I was constantly worried if my app calculation was different from my doctor's scan. Did anyone else face a difference of 4-5 days between their LMP date and ultrasound date?
I remember being so confused and trying to calculate the exact day of conception, it was so overwhelming! Just know that the standard way is counting from your last period's first day. You are doing great, don't stress too much over exact days right now.
Haan yaar, starting mein bada confusion hota hai na! Doctors hamesha aapki last period date (LMP) se hi days count karte hain. To bas us date se hafte count karna shuru kar do, simple hai!
