Bit confused na, doctor counts weeks from last period but conception happens later. So when does it actually start counting? just trying to understand my dates properly.
It actually starts counting from your last period's first day, can you believe it? 😮 So by the time you miss your period, you are already 4 weeks pregnant! Super exciting journey ahead!
Just had my baby, and yes, the doctor started counting from my LMP (last menstrual period). Even though actual conception happens around two weeks later, LMP is the standard. It is so fresh in my mind!
My MIL always said it starts from the day you miss your cycle, but my gynac explained that pregnancy weeks are actually counted from the first day of your last period. It sounds confusing but that's how doctors calculate the due date.
Beta, medically they count it from the first day of your last period. But ghar pe hum log tabhi se maante hain jab period miss hota hai. Make sure you drink warm milk and don't do heavy lifting.
Because of my irregular periods with PCOS, counting from the last period was so hard. My doctor had to do a dating scan to find the exact start of pregnancy. If your cycle is irregular, ask for a scan.
Haha, I remember being so confused about this! You think it starts on the day you conceive, but doctors count it from your last period. Now that my kid is running around, those calculation days seem so funny.
In natural pregnancy, they count from your last period's first day. But since I had IVF, my doctor counted it very precisely from the embryo transfer day. It's beautiful how life begins, just keep faith.
Honestly, for me, it felt like the pregnancy began the moment the terrible nausea hit me around week 6! But medically, the count starts from your last period's first day. Keep some ginger candies ready!
When I asked my doctor at Fortis, she clearly explained that gestational age starts from day one of your last period. They track it so precisely on their premium patient portal, it's very systematic.
Listen, don't get confused by all the math. Medically, your weeks start counting from the first day of your last period itself. Just relax, eat well, and let your body do its magic.
