How far along am I?

I feel REALLY dumb asking this question but, here I go anyways....

The first day of my last period was Jan. 11, so according to my calculations I am 5 & 1/2 weeks pregnant but this book that I have makes me feel like I am 6 & 1/2 weeks? I am counting Jan. 18th as 1 week where the book that I have seems to make Jan. 11th as week 1. Anyone know? My first Dr.'s appointment isn't till Friday. UGH! I am soooo happy to be pregnant I just want this first trimester to be over with. I am scared of miscarriage. I had a dream the other night though that I gave birth to a baby boy and that made me feel better.

Those books can confuse the crap out of a person. If you are 5 1/2 weeks pregnant, technically you are half way through your 6th week of pregnancy although not 6 full weeks pregnant yet. Does that make any sense?

I guess it is easier to understand in months... weeks 1,2,3, & 4 are all part of your first month although you wouldn't call yourself 1 month pregnant until you are through it. So a book that says "Your First Month" would be read during those first 4 weeks.

According to a ticker I played around with, you are 5 weeks 3 days pregnant as of today. Whenever you have your first ultrasound that may change a little bit so don't stress out about it.
