If you were 5 weeks pregnant then you would have conceived 3 weeks ago (assuming you have a 28 day cycle). Initially you will be dated by the date of your last period until you have a dating scan. congratulations! X

Pregnancy is calculated using your last period as the start date. So your due date will be 40 weeks from the date of your last period - it confuses a lot of people as everyone tends to think of pregnancy lasting 9 months (36 weeks) not 10.

9 months is not 36 weeks! It's about 39 weeks so the 9months thing is correct unless you go well over your due date.
