Fetal age( 3 weeks & 2 days?) yet im "5 weeks & 2 days?" Im confused👀 someone help me "technically" understand how far I am please ?.. so how far along is baby?

Question

Answer

Because pregnamcy is calculated from the 1st day of your last period so it'll be an extra 2 weeks.

Answer

Most women know when their last period was but actual conception happened sometime around two weeks after period when you ovulated. So the fetus can't be older than ovulation time. But the period is just the standard date used to calculate.

Answer

I conceived without a period, I had very irregular periods and did not have a period for 5 months then found out I was 9 weeks pregnant. So this has really confused me

Answer

How that is calculated is the 5 weeks is based off your last period subtract two weeks and that's how old your baby is due to ovulating roughly two weeks after your period.

Answer

Pregnancy is calculated from your period but gestation (fetal age) is from conception.
Most women do not know when they conceived so it's difficult to standardize. Many do know when they got their periods though so doctors go by that. That's why your due date is an estimated due date and baby can come before it or after it. If your ultrasound then shows any discrepancy, they might change your dates to reflect that.

Answer

You are 5 weeks along as usually it is counted from the last period date. Congrats!!
