I always get confused with this counting. They count from last period but i actually know roughly when we conceived. So how many weeks does it really come to from that day?
From conception its roughly 38 weeks, but everyone counts 40 weeks from last period. Thats why your weeks may sound 2 ahead of when you actually conceived. The dating scan sorts it out.
This confused me so much at first honestly. So from conception its about 38 weeks but doctor counts from last period. Glad someone explained, it made sense finally.
My doctor explained pregnancy is about 38 weeks from actual conception, but doctors count 40 weeks from the last period since the exact conception day is hard to pin. So the dating is usually 2 weeks ahead of conception. The scan confirms the real timeline.
