Patient's question:
Hello! My last menstrual period arrived on October 26th and lasted for about 6 days. On November 9th, I went to the hospital for a check-up and found out I was pregnant, but the doctor didn't mention the gestational age at the time. I would like to ask how to calculate it. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Starting from the first day of your last menstrual period: The month of your due date is the month of that period. If the month is greater than 3, subtract 3; if the month is less than 3, add 9 to get the birth month. Date: If calculated by the lunar calendar, the date of the last menstrual period plus 14 days is the birth date. If calculated by the Gregorian calendar, add 7 days to get the birth date. Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of prenatal examination risk pay attention to warmth and avoid coldness. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
