Confusion on weeks in pregnancy - help!

Hi ladies

I am 16 weeks and 2 days pregnant according to my measurements at scans. Does this mean I am in the 17th week of pregnancy (so when I look books etc I should look at 17) or is this the 16th week?

Sorry little confused

Thanks xx

Technically it is your 17th week (the same as when a baby is born they were in the first week of their life even though they are not a week old) but for book and website purposes it would be looking at 16 weeks

Ok thanks well that is simpler. I have an app on my ipod that says that I am in week 17 between 27 Oct (when I hit 16 weeks) and 2 nov (day before hitting 17 weeks). This is what threw me and also the book I have which says after X weeks you are then in your next week of pregnancy, so have had 16 weeks so now in 17th week. Does this app/book work it out incorrectly or are there a few ways of working it out?

Sorry it is just so annoying not knowing where I am as it is so nice to see how baby is developing
