I understand that doctors date pregnancy from the date of the last period but does that still work out if you have a longer cycle? I seem to be about 35 days (though it varies) so if I am pregnant (got the faintest line today but re-testing in the morning as I fear I was seeing things) I would be 5 weeks pregnant officially and the baby would officially be 3 weeks but actually only be 2 weeks old.
I'm plainly getting ahead of myself, but due to a spinal condition I will be having a CS and I believe that ELCS are usually carried out a few weeks before the due date. If the ELCS is, say 'officially', 2 weeks early it would actually be 3 weeks early for the baby. Does that make sense?
Or am I just being mental over nothing and they amend the dates at the dating scan??
Only possibly pregnant for a few hours and I've already gone nuts
