A member asked:
If you are supposedly pregnant 2 weeks before baby is that counted as 0weeks 1 day then the next week is 1week 1 day and so forth?

Yes (kind of): The system we have for counting weeks of pregnancy is weird and based on what they knew way back when (when your period was), since they didn't know when ovulation occured. It includes 2 weeks of not being pregnant. Startig at the start of your last period, that makes it about 40 weeks from then that you are due. So, you are 2 weeks 0 days when you actually get pregnant.
