Probably a dumb question...

So as shown on my ticker, I'm 5 weeks 5 days pregnant today.  Does this mean I'm in my 5th or 6th week of pregnancy?   I'm past 5 weeks, but not yet at six, so I'm confused.

 If someone asked me how far along am I, what would I say?

TIA!  Sorry for my dumb post, but I can't get my brain to work today.

  • We're due date buddies which I know has no relevance to the question. I always say 5 and a half weeks or whatever it is. Tomorrow I will probably say I'm a day under 6 weeks. Yay us!

  • Oh awesome!  That's so fun :)   I like the way you answer that.  I haven't told anyone yet, but I'm just preparing myself.  I'm going to tell my chiro tomorrow and I realized I didn't know what to say. 

    So this is the 6th week of our pregancy, but we're not quite 6 weeks along yet...   Does that sound right?  Tuesday starts our 7th week since we've already completed 6?  Not sure why I care so much about this, haha.

    P.S. I'm telling my chiro I'm 6 weeks along since it'll be only 1 day shy of that.

  • I have been having this brain dilemma too! I think that you have it right. Like for me, I am 6 weeks pregnant, but I am in my 7th week of pregnancy.

  • You go by weeks/days completed in your pregnancy. Exactly how the ticker shows it.

  • You are in your 6th week, but you are 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant. It's like a baby's first year is the months leading up to his first birthday, or how we are started the 21st century in the year 2000. Your first week was days 1-7, second week was 8-14, ect, it's all in how you are saying it, what week you are in vs. how far along you are.....

  • I would say that you are in your 5th week of pregnancy, and you are 5 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Once you hit 6 weeks, I would say that you are in your 6th week of being pregnant. That's just me!! When I tell people, I always just say I'm 5 weeks when I'm between 5 weeks 0 days - 5 weeks 6 days.
  • Oh Jesus, I wasn't confused until I read this post.  Haha!  If someone asked me right now I'd say almost 5.5 weeks.
  • I just say either 5 weeks, or 5 and a half weeks depending on which is closer.  You just confuse people if you start giving too much info, and while they're excited for you they don't really care about being that specific (other than maybe OB or DH, of course).
  • I just use what my ticker says :)
