it's called a BIRTH day, not a CONCIEVEMENT day!

because when your mother is pregnant, there may be complications that could kill the baby/fetus or the mother could terminate the pregnancy. SO after a mother has given birth to a child into this world is ONLY when they start adding that time. Why add in time while a mother's pregnant when you DON'T know what could happen before birth?

Well some cultures do add this time. But most cultures do not start counting age until the child has taken its first breath of air.

Actually some countries do. You are 1 year old on the day that you are born. Either way is fine...

Unless your mom has a camera in her reproductive tract nobody knows when you were conceived.
