I always get confused with this week vs month thing. Doc keeps telling me in weeks but my saas asks kitne mahine ho gaye and I never know what to say. How do u actually convert it properly?
When I was pregnant, my doctor explained that we count from the LMP (last menstrual period). It's easier to track weeks instead of months because milestones are week-based. Now that I am breastfeeding my baby, I still look back at those weekly trackers with so much love.
I am actually trying to conceive right now and reading up on all this. From what my bhabhi told me, doctors usually calculate it from the first day of your last period, not the date you conceived. It sounds a bit confusing but we will all figure it out slowly!
Honestly, pregnancy math is harder than high school algebra, haha! You think 9 months is 36 weeks, but then doctors say it's 40 weeks, which is actually 10 months? Just download an app, let it do the hard work while you enjoy your cravings!
Oh God, I remember getting so confused between weeks and months when I was pregnant! My little one is a naughty toddler now and looking back, those calculations don't even matter after a point. Just remember that roughly 4 weeks is one month, but your doctor will always go by your exact weeks.
I just delivered my baby last month, and I remember this confusion so well. The easiest way is to ask your doc during your first ultrasound because they measure the baby and give you the exact week and EDD. Don't stress too much about the month count, trust the scan reports.
