Answer 3

According to the book, "Your Pregnancy week by week", the doctors start counting your pregnancy from the date of your last menstral period but the fetus age is exactly 2 weeks later, so right now I am 6 weeks pregnant but the fetus is 4 weeks old. So if the doc says your 41 weeks pregnant then technically the fetus is 39 weeks. (Of course not everyone ovulates at the same time, but they generalize that everyone O's at 2 weeks after period...)

Answer 4

It is 41 weeks since the egg was released, normally about 2 weeks after your last period
