Such a basic doubt but it confuses me, do they start counting from the day i missed period or from conception? My gynac gave a due date and the maths is not adding up in my head. Pls help.
Yes, once you touch 36 weeks, you are in your 9th month! I started my daily gentle walking and pelvic stretches then, but only after my doctor gave me a clear go-ahead.
This is so confusing, I used to overthink it daily because 9 months and 40 weeks don't add up easily! Don't stress, the 9th month starts at 36 weeks, so just make sure your hospital bag is fully ready!
I always thought pregnancy was exactly 9 months, but it's actually 40 weeks, which is almost 10 months! It's so interesting to learn how the medical weeks are counted.
At my hospital, the staff explained that the 9th month starts around week 36. They gave us a complete plan for the final weeks and what symptoms to watch out for, so do ask your hospital team for their guide.
Technically, the ninth month of pregnancy starts at week 36. However, doctors always calculate your progress in weeks because it is much more precise, so it is best to follow your gynac's weekly charts.
