Just got my positive test yaar and im so confused how the due date is even counted. matlab from period date or something else? someone explain in simple way pls.
I am also planning soon and was wondering about this! Is there an online calculator that is actually accurate? Or should we just wait till we get that positive test and let the gynac tell us?
The most reliable way is using the LMP (last menstrual period) method, but honestly, only about 5% of babies actually arrive on their due date. Your obstetrician will do a dating scan around 8-12 weeks which is the most accurate. Trust your doctor's calculation over online apps.
Look, don't break your head over exact dates right now. Just remember the date of your last period, that is what the doctor will ask first. Rest is all estimation, babies have their own schedule anyway.
My due date shifted a bit during scans because of my thyroid levels and baby's growth rate. That's why regular doctor visits are so important to monitor everything. Just focus on your health and keep your checkups on time.
Haan na, we all get so excited to count the days! Actually your due date is calculated from the first day of your last period, even if conception happened later. But don't worry, doc will do an ultrasound and give you the final date, baby comes when they want ho na.
At my hospital, they gave me a proper pregnancy handbook on day one explaining the calculations. They use the early scan date as the final reference. It's best to ask your consulting doctor during your first checkup, they will explain it very clearly.
Same here, I am also currently trying to figure this out! My last period was on 12th Feb, so does that mean my due date is mid November? Do we strictly follow the scan date or the period date? Let me know if you find out.
