Just found out im pregnant and im so confused how to count the weeks properly. Last period se gina jata hai ya conception se? First time so no idea, pls explain simply.
Calculate it from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). If your cycles are irregular, a dating scan at 7-8 weeks is the most accurate way to know.
My doctor calculated my weeks from my last period date, which matched my early ultrasound. When I eventually had my planned C-section at 38 weeks, knowing the exact week really helped us plan the recovery and baby's nursery in advance.
I have been researching this too while trying to conceive. I think you count from the start of your last period, but I hope the doctor's scan will confirm it easily for you.
I calculated my weeks based on my last period, but my terrible morning sickness in week 6 was the real wake-up call! Once you get that dating ultrasound done, the doctor will give you the most accurate timeline.
Just count from the first day of your last period, but honestly, the baby will arrive whenever they want anyway! Don't stress too much over the exact days, just enjoy the ride.
It can be so confusing to calculate at first, but don't worry, your gynac will explain it clearly on your first visit. Enjoy these early weeks, they fly by so fast!
While you can count the weeks starting from your last period's start date, the doctor's dating scan is the gold standard. They measure the baby's size to give you the exact gestational age.
I totally understand how exciting it is to count every single week of your little miracle's growth. Just count from the first day of your last period, and each week you'll feel closer to holding them.
