Ok, so I'm pregnant. 21-ish weeks. When I calculate my due date/pregnancy by my LMP, it tells me I am "21 weeks, 5 days" pregnant. Some sites say I'm "in my 22nd week." Which is it? I mean, I get that I've already completed a full 21 weeks, and am now into my 22nd week, but do I say I'm 21 weeks pregnant? Or 22 weeks pregnant? LOL I know this is silly, but it has been bugging me. When I look on sites for the week by week info, should I be looking at the 21 week info? Or the 22 week info? Again, I know, it's silly, I could look at both! But I like to follow along week by week! LOL (Seriously, I'm laughing at myself for being so dense.)
Thanks, Cara. Yes, I am crazy. LOL
LOL L.! I did the same thing during both pregnancies, and now I'm channeling my craziness into my son's age. Is he 6 months? 6 1/2 months? 28 weeks?
Clearly I need a hobby!
You have completed 21 weeks, 5 days so technically you are "in" your 22nd week. This confused my husband during our entire first pregnancy and he refused to believe that I was already 2 weeks "pregnant" when we conceived (using LMP). It's like saying your child is 1 year old, but is "in his second year of life". I don't know who would say that, but that's how my doctor finally explained it to my husband!
You are 21w5d. The pregnancy sites give you information a week ahead - so you will know what to expect. Congratulations!! You are over halfway there!!
I like the way you think. I'm as crazy as you. I love this site because it takes the thinking out of it. You enter your LMP, and voila! there is a chart that lists what week you are for each week after that date. Love it!

Hmmm, the way I see it is you are 5 months pregnant. In a couple of weeks you'll be 6 months pregnant, which is even better! But really, don't you have a nursery to paint or something to keep your mind off these things?
:)
At 21w5d, you are 21 weeks pregnant. You are also in your 22nd week of pregnancy. If you see info that says 'Week 22' that applies to you and if you see info that says '21 weeks pregnant' that also applies to you.
You are 21 weeks. You say you're 22 weeks once you've finished it. Or you can say you're 21.5 (twenty-one five).
My SIL used to only go by months. But she didn't do her months normal cuz February was a short month. By the time I got done calculating it properly for her she was further ahead than she though, lol!
