Sorry if this sounds silly but im actually confused how they count the weeks. Doc said im 6 weeks but i only missed period recently. Matlab kab se count hota hai exactly? Pls someone explain simply.
Actually, the gestational age starts from the first day of your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). My doctor explained that because conception date is hard to pinpoint, they use the LMP as a standard. So you are technically considered pregnant even before the baby is actually conceived!
Yaar, actually it starts from the first day of your last period itself, even though conception happens later. Don't worry, even I was super confused in the beginning! Gynac will clarify everything during your first ultrasound, chill.
Yes, they count it from the first day of your last cycle. It is a bit confusing initially but don't worry about the dates too much. I had my delivery via C-section, and post-recovery I realized how fast the time flies once you hold your baby. Just take care of yourself.
I got so stressed when my app showed I was 5 weeks pregnant but I thought I conceived only 3 weeks ago! I almost cried thinking something was wrong. Later my doctor explained this standard calculation and I realized it's totally normal.
For me, my doctor started counting from the very first day of my last period, which felt a bit strange at first! I don't know the proper medical logic behind it, but that's how my due date was calculated. Every body is different though, so check your reports.
With my PCOS, my cycles were always all over the place, so calculating this was so stressful. I was so scared that the dates wouldn't match. If your periods are irregular, your doctor will probably do a dating scan to find the exact week, so don't get too stressed.
