How many weeks pregnant am I?

Wednesday December 26, 2007
Due date! It's what everyone wants to know. When are you due? But the more important thing to know is how many weeks pregnant you are. This is how doctors and midwives calculate your pregnancy, rather than months, because it's more accurate. And it starts with week one being the first day of your last period. Need to calculate your due date and the number of weeks you are? It's a good idea to keep that info handy.

I never had a period-went right from breast feeding to pregnant so I really don’t know when conception was!
Can I tell by symptoms?

I feel awful. I hate being pregnant! I am miserable and I want to throw up all the time. This is my fifth pregnancy, so please don’t tell me that it will get better, because its actually gotten worse with each baby. I hate this!
