Hi all. I'm new to this board, got my BFP on Monday and am in my 5th week of pregnancy.

I can't work out whether I'm 4 weeks 3 days or 4 weeks 4 days, please could someone impart wisdom on me?! The first day of my last period was 30th March, so if that's counted as day 1, I'm currently 32 days pg which I would say is 4 weeks 4 days.

But my app (the one approved by the NHS) says I'm 4 weeks 3 days. Will I be exactly 5 weeks on Sunday, or Monday?

Monday, because March 30th was a Monday Smile

Check you didn't input the wrong date on the app - I did that and confused myself!

I found different places seemed to calculated differently - very confusing!

Just to be difficult, they'll probably change your dates slightly when they do your dating scan anyway!

I wouldn't worry about it at this stage. When you make your first appointment it will use the last period method, but once you've had a scan the estimated due date will be adjusted based on the baby's development and size. Mine got moved back a week from what I thought using apps.
