Re: silly question - weeks pregnant

At conception you are usually considered around 2 weeks pregnant. So someone who is 8 weeks ast got aunt flow 8 weeks ago but conceived around ovulation which is around 6 weeks ago

Look at it this way...your body was preparing for pregnancy by shedding the old liner and building a new one.

Re: silly question - weeks pregnant

it sounds weird but its how they count it. your body was already prepping and the egg was there just not fertilized.
you are also technically pregnant for 40 weeks which is 10 months not 9 months like everyone else says

Congrats!! Think of it like this... Every month you are pregnant until proven not pregnant.

That's not really true, because those first (roughly) 2 weeks, as we are talking about, you aren't actually pregnant. And each month (except February) is 4 and a half weeks, not just 4, so the 40 weeks actually does work out to 9 months pregnant.
