I don't really know how to ask this question without sounding stupid but im kinda stupid and innocent when it comes to questions as this is my first healthy pregnancy , but I am 6 weeks 4 days, is that measured from conception or ovulation, u guess my question is, is the baby there 6 weeks and 4 days or is the ovulate period included in that time? Sorry if it sounds confusing, any feedback woule be great :) thank u x

[firsttimemom21]

Aww thanks alot , really helped x

sorry, that was confusing...baby is six weeks, but was conceived four weeks ago

[camerinj]

baby is still only four weeks because that's how the machine is calibrated. it doesn't matter if you actually had a period or not, conception and implantation aren't until week three of pregnancy, so you conceived approximately four weeks ago

Yes see I had an ultrasound yesterday and they Said I am (6weeks 3days yesterday) but because I never had a period in 2 years I was just curious to know if my baby is there over 6weeks or only 4weeks :/ because im not too sure how it would work because I didn't have a cycle in over 2 years yano, thanks alot it helps x

[firsttimemom21]

Yes thanks alot,Im just confused x

They measure from the baby and it gives the doctors a rough guess on how far along you are. I didn't know when my last period was either. When I had mmy first ultrasound they measured from the baby and gave me a estimate on ho far along I was. Hope this helped.

The baby had been there 4weeks  the first 2weeks is the fertilisation of the egg. Hope this helps. X

But I didnt have a period in 2 years so how does that work ?? I know it's confusing :/

Yes your baby is 6 weeks. They just go from the first day of your last missed period. Although you have only been "pregnant" a month. It's just how they count.

[firsttimemom21]

I dunno it's a little confusing to me because I never had a period in over 2 years, :/ so that's y I was wondering is my baby there 6weeks and 4days or what? But thanks alot

[camerinj]

when the ultrasound takes measurements, it includes when you should have had your period if you had one. so it's only been about for weeks since conception

[firsttimemom21]

No see I didn't have a period in 2 years :/ so I was just wondering is my baby growing since 6 weeks 4 days like is it there that long, I know it's confusing but thanks for the feedback :)

Im 6 weeks and 1 day :) i think u r asking if those 6 weeks include your period and ovulation (pretty much the 2 wks u were not pregnant) and yes it does. Since its very difficult for you or even your dr to pinpoint the day if conception it it measured from the day of yoyr ladt period.i hope that is what u were asking!
