It is important to know how many weeks pregnant you are (pregnancy gestation). The first day of your last menstrual period is used to estimate how many weeks pregnant you are. For example, if it has been four weeks from the first day of your last period the pregnancy is at 4 weeks gestation. The most accurate way to know how pregnant you are is to have an ultrasound.
An ultrasound can tell you how many weeks pregnant you are, which will help you understand your pregnancy options.
