Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I have just tested positive for pregnancy. My last menstrual period started on October 27th and ended on November 2nd. How can I calculate how many weeks pregnant I am? When is the most appropriate time to go to the hospital for an abortion?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the time of pregnancy is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period, not from the day of conception. There is some discrepancy between the calculated time and the ultrasound examination, which is normal.Advice: Rest well, supplement folic acid during the early stages of pregnancy, as it can prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Strengthen your nutrition, and stay away from radiation and chemical pollution.
