How did you count the 8 weeks? You’re not supposed to count from the moment of conception. You’re supposed to count from your last menstruation, which is approximately 2 weeks before conception. It’s odd but that is how doctors (and the law!) counts. That is part of what makes those 6 week bans so problematic. When you miss a period you are already at 4 weeks!
Your comment implies though I’ve been pregnant three times, I don’t know how to calculate pregnancy age. Thank you for the explanation, but my miscarriages were at 8 and 12 weeks. What’s crazy is that you may not experience the effects of a miscarriage for a week or so after the “baby” has already died/stopped growing. So it’s possible my little lizard baby was only 7 weeks along.
