If they say I am 10 weeks pregnant that
really the baby is only 8 weeks old? This
has confused my family and they think I
got pregnant earlier than I really did!
Help!!!

The way we count is from our lmp (last
menstrual period) and that i'm assuming
would be 10 weeks for you but the baby is
generally concieved about 2 weeks after
the first day of our lmp so that obviously
means the baby's gestational age is 8
weeks. Hope that helps, I was confused
about that for a long time but decided to
ask the doc what that meant and thats just
what he told me. Once you have your
ultrasound they should be able to finalize
the age of the baby by measurements.
Good luck!

Pregnantmama2 is correct. If they say you
are 10 weeks then the fetus is 8 weeks.
Here is a great link that you can use just
enter the first day of your last menstrual
or your due date and it will breakdown the
date of conception-the fetus age adn how
far along you are.

How about this one! What if the
ultrasound says the baby is 7 weeks 1 day
and it's been exactly 7 weeks and 1 day
since your lmp? I'm really confused!
