Patient's question:
27-year-old female, I and my husband started trying to conceive from the beginning of our marriage, and now I'm pregnant. I'm just very worried. Could you please tell me how to calculate the days of pregnancy right after getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
The duration of pregnancy is typically calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period in medical terms. The estimated due date also starts from this day, with 280 days of pregnancy marking the due date. It is not necessary to calculate the specific time of intercourse or delivery. Once pregnancy is confirmed, the estimated gestational age begins from the first day of the last menstrual period. There should be no psychological stress, and it is important to maintain a positive mood. During this period, adequate rest should be ensured, and the diet should be kept light, avoiding greasy and spicy foods. This is beneficial for both you and the fetus in your womb.
