If you go by your last menses, you are 6 weeks + 5 days pregnant today (3 Dec). However, this is not the most accurate, and you’ll need a dating ultrasound scan to get a more accurate result. You may also ask how it’s possible for you to be pregnant earlier than your wedding date (assuming that’s the first time you were intimate). Well, the 40 weeks of pregnancy is actually calculated in relation to your menses date, so it doesn’t mean you got pregnant 6 weeks + 5 days ago.
If ur period is regular, use online tool to calculate pregnancy week using ur last menses date. If it’s not regular, it’s still ok to go down and see gynae to confirm ur pregnancy and see if you are able to see anything on ultrasound
They usually start counting from the first day of your last period. But if your cycle is not regular, it can differ and a scan will be able to date the baby via measurement. Hope this helps!
Schedule an appointment with your gynecologist and he/she will be able to advise accordingly
Can I go to the gynae now itself to scan or do I need to wait longer ?
Dating scan should be able to verify the correct age of you pregnancy :)
it depends on how regular your menses are...go see a doc to find out!
I suggest better to get dating scan at the gynae
when you do your ultrasound, you'll know
You’ll need a dating scan at the gynae
