Confused...

I read if you are 7W+D then you are in your 8W. Is this true? I am currently 7W5D and will be 8 weeks Sunday. Am I technically in my 8th week now and will be working on my 9th week come Monday??

Re: Confused...

  • Yes, you are in your 8th week because they count days 1-6 as your first week.

  • Yes. Much in the same way as if you are 7 years, 5 months old, you are in your 8th year of life. You turn 8 after having been alive for a full 8 years.

    Yep.  Like PP said, you are 8 weeks when you have completed your 8th week, like I will begin my 27th year of life next week when I turn 26.

  • So if you are looking at the growth chart of your LO based on 7W5D are you measuring 7W or 8W?
