I'm a little confused about how pregnancy is dated. When exactly is the first month of pregnancy counted from? Is it from the day of conception or my last menstrual period?
Haha, pregnancy math is wild! You are technically considered 'pregnant' even before the baby is actually conceived, starting from day one of your last period. Just roll with it and get ready for the wild ride ahead!
My mother always said to keep track of the last period date carefully. Doctors always count the first month starting from that first day of your last cycle. It is best to trust this standard medical calculation for your due date.
I totally understand how confusing this counting is when you first find out! The first month is actually counted from the very first day of your last period, even before conception happens. It sounds strange but it is a beautiful start to your journey.
I remember being so baffled by this math when I was pregnant! Yes, it starts counting from the first day of your last period. Don't worry, your doctor will calculate the exact due date for you, so just relax.
Since my C-section was scheduled precisely, I had to understand the week calculations. The count starts from the day your last period began, which is about two weeks before you actually conceive. Take good care of your health right from the start.
