First time pregnant and im so lost with this week counting. Doc says im 9 weeks but my last period was much earlier, matlab how does the math even work? Pls explain in simple way.
Yes, it gets a bit confusing at first but you will easily get the hang of it! Just remember that 4 weeks means one month, and a full pregnancy is about 40 weeks. Stay positive, it's a beautiful journey.
Simple calculations hain behan, don't get confused. Your pregnancy starts counting from the first day of your last period (LMP), not the day you had sex. Just track it from there and you will understand your exact week.
I completely understand how overwhelming and confusing this week-by-week calculation can feel, I used to lose sleep over-analyzing if I was in week 5 or 6. Don't stress, just remember your doctor calculates it from your LMP, and minor differences in scans are totally normal.
I was also very confused about this initially, so I just asked the chief coordinator at my hospital during my first checkup. They gave me a clear chart explaining how the weeks work and how the doctors calculate it, so just ask your gynac's team to clarify it.
Honestly, just download a good pregnancy tracker app on your phone, it does all the math for you. You just enter your last period date and it shows your weekly progress directly, super simple and hassle-free.
