So yes aprox around your wedding.date, a little after.as it.is not an exact science as every womans cycle is a little different, plus sperm can stay alive inside you for a few days. But yes looks like a wedding baby. Congratulations xx

Hi meme, just to repeat one of the answers above, when a doctor or app or book, any informational source states your a certain amount of weeks pregnant it is not dating from the.time you actually concieved but approx two weeks before. This is because it is srandardised way all counts start. The first day of your last period, as this is an event they can pinpoint. You actaully concieve roughly two weeks after this date. It is a gestational age not the age of age of the actual baby. So for example if you are five weeks into your pregnancy then the time of conception was actually three weeks ago. I hope this makes sense xx

Hi all. I had an appointment with my doctor yesterday and he told me i'm in my 4th weeks of pregnancy. He wrote me prenatal vitamin. But pharmacist says i have to start to take prenatal after my 12weeks. But i bought it. Now i'm confused whether i need to take it or not?

Khelen no you will wait for 12 weeks the reason why I had scans early because I've had complications thew my pregnancys I'm high risk so that why this is my 4 pregnancy but first

Also remember that these calculators (and your doctor) give you a gestational week. Meaning they actually start you week on the 1st day of your last period. Technically you actually re 2 weeks pregnant when you conceive. So if your calculator says 6 weeks, then it is 6 weeks gestational and 4 weeks actual.

I believe that the best way to calculate is by also inputting your cycle length. I have an odd one (37 days!!) so they're calculations based on 28 days would be wrong

Khelen · Answer

i thought i'm supposed to be around 3weeks. And its too early to have a scan. If its 6weeks i'll go for scan next week. :). Thanks

Samcefe · Answer

to calculate they always take the first day of your last period. in my case it was 2nd May. so just one day after you. i already noticed myself in my body that i was pregnant around 24th May. i waited untill 29th to do the test which was positive. on 6th June i had an eco made, calculating from my period it would have been 5 weeks and the eco showed 4 weeks and 6 days. because of ovulation not always being precise depending on your cycles it can vary a little bit. so for now you are 6 weeks pregnant untill your first eco and measuring the embryo they'll tell you how many weeks exact.
