How to work out how far you are

[LauraBrown1]

I'm currently around 11 weeks (I think) but I won't know for sure until the 5th feb for my first scan to get a better idea.
The first day of my last period was 5 November (I remembered that because it's bonfire night) it lasted 5 days then I believe we conceived just after that. That would make me 11 + 2 on the pregnancy + app.
However my midwife wrote down my due date as the 17 August which would make me 10 weeks.
Is she right? There's a missing week somewhere 😂 x

It's counted from the first day of your last period until you've had a dating scan, so you'd be 10 + 5 today?

@Plantkween ah see I just used the first response calculator there and it came up 10+5 but the app makes it 11+2 so odd. Thank you 😊

I had a very good idea when I conceived, at booking midwife used her twirly disk thing and added 5 days on to what I had in my head (as these are based on textbook cycles), no problem. Went for dating scan and got edd exactly what I originally thought 🙂 just means my green book looks a bit scruffy already as the first dates have been scribbled out!

I wouldn't worry too much as we never know exactly when they'll choose to arrive anyway 🙂

@Heyha ah haha so you just knew all along? 😂 I'm not that worried but I just figured she was a week behind. Just means at my 12 week scan I should be 13 weeks..
Honestly it's all because I love the pregnancy + app and getting the little updates everyday of how baby is changing etc and I just wanted to know if anything was new hahah

Well I was confident +/- a day as I'd kept quite good tracking once we'd decided to TTC (once a scientist always a scientist 😂). I wasn't expecting to be bang on and I guess even measuring on scan pics has a margin of error but I was secretly quite pleased with myself!
