How pregnant am I?

I happen to know my conception date and it was only 2 weeks ago but all the apps are saying I'm 4 weeks pregnant! I'm not! I'm definitely two! What's going on?

four weeks. Worked out from your last period, not conception date

As pp said it's counted from the first day of your last period so technically two weeks before conception.

First day of last period,you're 4 weeks.

Your date is taken from your last period. Hence why pregnancy is officially 40 weeks.

BertieBotts · 13/09/2017 08:07

I mean, technically you'll have only been pregnant for one week, as it takes a week or so for the embryo to implant in your womb! But yes counted as four weeks medically.

Ohhhh I see! That's strange isn't it?!

CongratulationsFlowers

It's quite logical really, you're much more likely to be certain about your last period date than the date you ovulated/conceived, that's all.

LadyPug · 13/09/2017 08:21

Thanks Bertie, that's true I guess!
