Im a bit confused about how the dating works, like from which day do they count. My periods were irregular so im not sure. How did the doc figure out ur start date, from last period ya scan?
Your pregnancy is dated from the first day of your last period. Please note down this date carefully as doctors rely on it for early scans. Wishing you a very safe and healthy journey ahead.
My saas was so confused when the doctor said I was 4 weeks pregnant, because we had just conceived! But my mother explained that they always count from the last period's start date.
Haan, doctors humesha last period ke pehle din se hi calculate karte hain na. Conception date se nahi counting hoti. So don't worry, yehi standard rule hai.
Beta, always count from the first day of your last monthly cycle. Eat healthy, warm home-cooked meals like light khichdi during these initial days to keep your digestion smooth, and take rest.
Oh my god, I spent hours online calculating this and got so anxious because the dates didn't match my ovulation! But don't worry, just trust the first day of your last period, that's what doctors use.
Actually, they start dating it from the first day of your last period, even though you weren't pregnant then! I was so confused when my gynac told me this. Is your doctor calculating it the same way?
Based on my experience, pregnancy is always dated from your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). It means you are technically already 2 weeks pregnant by the time you conceive. It sounds funny but that's how it works!
I was also reading about this recently while trying to conceive. They say your pregnancy weeks are counted from the first day of your last period, not the conception day. It feels a bit strange but that's the standard way.
In my case, my doctor calculated my due date using the first day of my last menstrual period (LMP). I just went by what my gynac wrote on my file rather than calculating it myself.
