Working out the dates
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice?
I'm a bit confused with my dates... The last normal period I had was 1st August this year. Then I found out I was pregnant but miscarried on 11th September. I've just found out I'm pregnant again - it's definitely a diferent prognancy because I had a negative test inbetween, so where do I count my dates from to work out how pregnant I am? Does the first day of miscarriage count like a normal period in terms of the dates? If it does then I suppose I'm 6 weeks... or do I count it from the 1st September when my period would have been had I not been pregnant? Thanks in advance!

It's one of those tough ones (like falling pregnant whilst BFing baby) where you can only guesstimate when you might have ovulated, you have a rough idea (6-7wks into term) but won't get an exact date until your dating scan (at which point most dates get adjusted anyways). Sorry can't be more help but hope you have a happy healthy 9mths.
Thank you
