Yes, I'm a book nerd, but I NEED to understand something before I can fully accept it. Thank you so much by the way for all your wonderful responses! Now what I need help with is to understand how this all works. My wonderful cousin told me about that bizarre two week thing, but the u/s tech made me show her the exact date I thought I conceived and told me that had to be wrong. So I assumed she was going on actual date. Was I wrong in that? Was she just unclear? And is there anyone on this internet who can explain gestational dating to me and why/how they do it exactly? Or can you point me to a site that does? And when I look at the baby development books, should I be looking at 5 weeks or 7 weeks? Do they all go by the Doctor system? AAAARGH confusion.
I know. My need to understand is frustrating. Just ask Hub.

The problem is most people don't understand! And most people have no idea when they ovulated, so doctors use the whole two extra week thing to count from the last period.
When looking at development books, you want to go with the 7 weeks figure. I know it seems weird but that is how they figure it based on the 40 weeks. So, at 37 weeks, which is 35 weeks since egg met sperm (give or take) you will be full term.
