Which week of pregnancy?

Question

Honestly im so confused with this whole week counting thing. My last period was around 5 weeks back but doc said something different in the scan. How do u even figure out which week ur in?

Pregnancy weeks are counted from the first day of your last period, not from when you conceived. So count from that date to know roughly which week you are in. The dating scan will confirm it more accurately.

I just put my last period date into a pregnancy tracker app and it told me the exact week and even week by week updates. Super handy honestly. Try one, it makes following along really easy.

Count from your last period's first day, that gives the week.

I kept getting confused between conception week and period based week. Once I understood it counts from last period it made sense. Did anyone else find this part really confusing at first?
