First time pregnant and im totally confused with this week counting thing. doctor said im 9 weeks but i thought it should be less based on when we conceived. how does the counting actually work?
I just entered my last period date in a pregnancy app and it counted the weeks and due date automatically. Super handy honestly. But the early scan confirmed the dates so I trusted that more.
My doctor counts from the first day of your last period, not the conception date, which confused me at first. So you are technically counted as 2 weeks pregnant when you actually conceive. The dating scan also helps fix the exact weeks.
I was so confused why they counted from last period when I wasnt even pregnant then haha. Took me a while to get it. Anyone else found this weird at first?
