A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dating is different: Dating a pregnancy is done from the first day of the Last Menstrual Period (LMP) . Although a person is not really pregnant at the time of their LMP we still date a pregnancy this way--in essence we date the pregnancy from the time the body starts to get ready for a pregnancy which is at the LMP.
