Question about "how many weeks"

I am 12 weeks 1 day, so when people ask how far along I am, how do I answer?

Am I the week that I'm in or am I the week I just completed? Chat Icon

Sorry if this sounds dumb but babycenter sends me emails for the week I just finished and it confuses me!
Shouldn't they send you the week you are starting?

Re: Question about "how many weeks"

I'd say 12 weeks until I completed the whole 13th week.

So now I'm 21 weeks 2 days, and I tell everyone I'm 21 weeks.

I do the same. I think it makes sense because if you were 39 weeks and 1 day and said 40 weeks your due date would techinically be here, so 39 weeks is more accurate in that case IMO.

I say the week I am in, until it is over. Right now, I'm 11 weeks. Friday I will be done with the 11th week, so at that point, I would say 12 weeks.

Re: Question about "how many weeks"

I'm a bit different. I'm 24 weeks and 4 days, but I say I'm at 25 weeks. That's because I have a pregnancy calendar on the wall and this date is marked as week 25. It makes it easy for DH too as he knows the weeks by that calendar.

Re: Question about "how many weeks"

I have a pregnancy calendar that is very weird. I do not even "graduate" weeks on the right day of the week, based on LMP or even on ovulation. I have a calendar set up on justmommies.com and I go by that.
