My last period was around mid of last month and im so confused with all this counting from LMP thing. Doc told me a number at the visit but i forgot na. Is there a simple way to calculate which week im in?
You can find many reliable online pregnancy calculators, usually by inputting your last menstrual period (LMP) date. They give a good estimate. However, your gynac will confirm the exact week and estimated due date through an ultrasound, which is the most accurate. It's good to use apps for general tracking, but trust the doctor for the precise details.
Beta, just remember the first day of your last period, that's called your LMP. Then find any pregnancy calculator online or an app, feed in that date, and it will tell you your week. Simple. Then when you go to the doctor, they will confirm it for you.
Haan, there are so many apps now to calculate! My MIL used to count from the day I 'felt' pregnant, haha. But seriously, just put in your last period date into any good online calculator or even your pregnancy app. It gives you a good idea. Your doctor will tell you the final dates though.
The easiest way is to use any pregnancy app, like BabyCenter or Ovia. You just need to enter the first day of your last period. It will show you exactly which week you are in. After that, your first ultrasound will give you the most accurate date from the doctor, so no need to overthink it.
Oh, I'm also waiting to use one of those calculators soon, fingers crossed! I think you just need your last period date. My friend told me that's how they figure it out. It must be so exciting to see the weeks count up. All the best to you.
