This is not just a couple’s problem but can be a problem for most people. Dr. Shobha of Dr. Shobha Fertility Center has uploaded a video regarding this. In the video, the doctor tells that she solved the problem of couples before their confusion increased. So let us know how this can be possible?
How is gestational age calculated?
Dr. Shobha says that the gestational age is determined by the date of the woman’s periods. That means, when a woman gets her periods, the time of pregnancy is counted from the same day. If a woman gets married after having her periods and then conceives on the first day of the marriage, then after one month the pregnancy will be said to be six weeks old. When Dr. Shobha explains this to couples, their confusion goes away.
