Newly pregnant here and the whole week counting thing is going over my head honestly. They counted from my last period date but i conceived later na, so confusing. Can someone explain which one is actually week one?
Oh, this confused me so much too, I had so much anxiety trying to figure it out! The doctors usually count from the first day of your last period, even if you weren't technically pregnant then. It's like a baseline for their calculations. Don't stress, your gynac will explain it all.
This is a very common question, and yes, it's a bit counter-intuitive! Pregnancy is medically dated from the first day of your Last Menstrual Period (LMP). So, the first week is actually that week. By the time you get a positive test, you're usually around 4-5 weeks along. Your doctor will give you your exact gestational age.
The doctors and staff at good hospitals explain this very well. They calculate your pregnancy from the first day of your last menstrual period. So by the time you actually conceive, you might already be considered 2-3 weeks pregnant. Always ask your gynac to clarify your specific dates.
Beti, doctor log toh tumhare pichhle period ki pehli tareekh se ginna shuru karte hain. Isi ko pehla hafta maana jaata hai. Toh tum actually pregnant baad mein hoti ho, par counting tabse hi chalti hai. Healthy khao aur khush raho.
Okay, so the first week is counted from the first day of your last period. Yes, I know, it sounds confusing because you haven't even conceived yet. But that's how medical science calculates it to get an approximate due date. Your gynac will confirm everything with a scan.
Hamare gaon mein toh log mahina miss hone ke baad ginte the. Par ab doctor didi log kehti hain ki tumhare jo akhri period ki pehli din thi na, wohi pehla hafta hota hai. Bohut ajeeb lagta hai sunne mein, par wohi sahi tareeka hai beta.
So, technically, the first week of pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). Even though you're not actually pregnant at that exact moment, it's the standard way to date pregnancies. Your ovulation and conception happen a couple of weeks after that.
Haha, the first week of pregnancy is actually when you're not even pregnant yet! Doctors are weird like that, they start counting from the first day of your last period. So basically, by the time you get a positive test, you're already like 4 weeks in. Mind. Blown. 😂
The first week of pregnancy is actually counted from the first day of your last period. It can be a little confusing, but that's how doctors calculate it. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it!
It's a little tricky because it's calculated from the first day of your last menstrual period. So, you're not actually pregnant in the 'first week' as per conception. My doctor explained it beautifully, saying it's just a standard way to measure the whole journey. Just follow your doctor's dates.
