When your pregnant do you count from the first day of you last pierod or by the size of a baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By the first day: Of the last period. When a woman gets pregnant the number of weeks along she is is counted by starting from the first day of the last menstrual period. The measurement of the uterus in centimeters, called the fundal height, is often the same as the number of weeks along the woman is.
