Est. Pregnancy Week?!!

Question

Totally confused.. So when you estimate conception based on last period why do the calculators add 1 or 2 weeks?? If conception date is estimated at 2/1/15 why do sites says pregnancy week is 6 weeks?? Would that only be 4 weeks since conception?? Thanks ladies!!

Answer

Basically you are already 2 weeks at conception so the good news is that it's like 2 free weeks

Answer

Kimberly, thank you! And I've talked to my healthcare provider. Okay... The weeks of pregnancy don't coordinate with how many weeks our babies are old.. So just becase I've only been pregnant 4 weeks (since conception) they start the 40 week countdown two weeks prior!! Therefor I'm 6 weeks into my pregnancy!!

Answer

Your due date is estimated from the date of your last period. Actual ovulation usually occures around the middle of your cycle so about 2 weeks after your last period. Since actuall conception happens 2 weeks after your last period you get the added 2 weeks when you calculate from your period instead of actual conception. :)

Answer

I don't understand it either. 
Congratulations!
