For example, I'm 28 years old, but I'm in my 29th year of life. When a baby is born, they are in their first year of life, but aren't considered 1 years old yet.</p> <p>So if you are 8 weeks, you're in your 9th week. (I'm also 8 weeks along and in my 9th week). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-what-week-i-am#post-231147 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:00:35 +0000 Mrsbells 231147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Different people count this differently but I think t you are 8 weeks + you are in your 8th week. its just simpler that way. The same way that this is july and its the 7 th month of the year rather than the 8th month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-what-week-i-am#post-231143 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 11:58:58 +0000 cokiezombie 231143@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe they count the weeks starting from the first day of the week, so like the others have said, you are done with week 8 and starting week 9.</p> <p>I was reallllly confused too because if I count the # of weeks based on my last menstrual cycle, I would have been 6 weeks at my previous obgyn appt. Turns out I o'd really late and I was only 4ish weeks along!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-what-week-i-am#post-230991 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:43:29 +0000 Mrs. Mousie 230991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Yes, counting from the first day of my last cycle. @mrskc: @JessLC: Makes sense.</p> <p>So ultimately, really, any time in the next two weeks I can go for my dating U/S? I'm so excited! I would go today if I could, LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-what-week-i-am#post-230988 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:36:45 +0000 SleepyMonkey 230988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Said another way, you have completed 8 weeks and you are now in your 9th week. By the end of this week, you will have completed 9 weeks. Generally when people talk about weeks along, they talk about it in the former way, i.e. how many weeks you have completed.! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-what-week-i-am#post-230961 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:20:52 +0000 mrskc 230961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your are 8 weeks along, but in your 9th week. Make sense? </p> <p>After you have your dating U/S, your due date may change and how many weeks along your are will change as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-what-week-i-am#post-230959 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:16:13 +0000 chopsuey 230959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>are you counting from the first day of your last menstrual cycle? or if your cycle is longer, do you have an idea of when you O'd? </p> <p>I don't think you need to go in exactly at 9 weeks. I had my dating ultrasound at 6 weeks 5 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-what-week-i-am#post-230951 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:11:25 +0000 aprk 230951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My apps are confusing me with the weeks too. I think they are ahead of themselves in order to keep throwing new information at us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-what-week-i-am#post-230948 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 10:10:16 +0000 Mrs. Mousie 230948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel so dumb for asking this, but I'm totally confused and I hope someone can answer this for me. So my doctor told me I needed to get my dating ultrasound at 9 weeks and come back for my prenatal 2 appointment at 10 weeks. My "What to Expect" app says I'm 8 weeks 1 day today, which to me, means I'm 8 weeks. BUT when I look at the weekly section, it gives the date (July 22-28) and says Week 9 at the top. </p> <p>What way am I supposed to be counting this?! Of course I'm excited to go get my ultrasound, I just want to make sure I'm doing everything when I should be doing them and not a week too early/late. </p> <p>Again, I feel so dumb for asking, LOL! Thanks for the help! </p>
