how many weeks am I?

Question

Sorry,  I hate that I have to be anonymous but my husband and I don't want to tell anyone yet.  I feel like if I stay anonymous I can at least as questions and nobody will ever know it's me lol.  Anyway my last period was from December 17 to December 20. I found out I'm pregnant.  How many weeks am I? I don't seem to understand how that works.  I assumed I am like around 2 weeks but when I calculate in glow nurture it says 3 weeks 5 days..  Idk how that's possible.                   UPDATE: Thank you everyone  that makes sense!

Answer

Crazy but true, pregnancy officially starts from the first day of your last period NOT the day of conception (this is a historic thing from way back when ovulation was less easy to track)... yes, this means you're classed as pregnant for a couple of weeks before you physically have an embryo inside you! (Mad, right?) Glow' s estimated due date should be pretty accurate, but the sonogrpher should be able to confirm the due date when you have your scan 😊

Answer

you could from the first day of your last period

Answer

fetal age is around 2 weeks, gestational age you are around 4 weeks. so you are around 4 weeks. so how says 3.5 weeks, that's what you are.

Answer

doctors and glow date your pregnancy. by the first day of your last period
