6 weeks - no, 5 - actually 3
Let me say that the whole 40 weeks is really 38 weeks is really not at all thing is maddening. The 40 weeks is what they call the menstrual time and the 38 is gestational. The menstrual measure is how they measure everything, so when people bandy about x number of weeks, that's what they're talking about. Only problem is that the menstrual measurement is based on a typical 28 day cycle. Mine is 36. So, even though my OB is one of my BFFs, we've decided to take everything she says and subtract a week :). She's as strong willed as I am, so we'll see how that goes.
In the mean time, 5 week (6 week/3 week) mark - whoo hoo!
