How do I know how far am in my pregnancy?

To determine how far along you are in your pregnancy, you can calculate your estimated due date (EDD) using various methods. Here are two common approaches:

1. Using the Last Menstrual Period (LMP):

- If you know the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), you can follow these steps:

a) Add 7 days to the date.

b) Subtract 3 months from the month.

c) Add 1 year if the result in step b yields a negative month.

2. Ultrasound Scan:

- Early in pregnancy, an ultrasound scan can provide a precise measurement of the fetus's development and help determine the EDD accurately.

Additional Factors to Consider:

- For those with irregular menstrual cycles, it may be more challenging to calculate EDD based solely on LMP.

- Consult your healthcare provider for a more accurate determination of your pregnancy stage based on various factors, including your medical history and physical examination.

Remember, every pregnancy is unique, and the EDD is an estimate that can vary. Regular prenatal care and communication with your healthcare provider are essential for monitoring your pregnancy's progress and ensuring the well-being of both you and your baby.
