When was the date of your last period? You count from the first day you started your last period to todays date. (for example if your last period started on june 1st you would be 9 weeks pregnant.)

by the way you really should make a doctors appointment as soon as you can so he/she can answer any of the questions that you have. And start prenatal vitamins asap because they help in the development of your baby's spinal cord.

Yeah, like poohbear101 said if you havent already, you need to go to the doctor and get on prenatal vitamins.

Anyways, Babyzone and Americanbaby have some good tools for tracking your pregnancy.

If you are 21 days they would say 5 weeks, cuz that should have been around when our last period came.

I have yahoo as my search engine of choice. I just put in "6 weeks gestation"and click images and usually at least one of the photos that come up are a baby of that weeks gestation. Or you could just put in same words on web search and you might find some images or sites that have images.

I know I like them too. I have 5 weeks on my desk top to look at, then I have 6 weeks, then I have 8 weeks.

I am 6.5 weeks myself

Truly amazing--god is amazing. What gets me is at 5 weeks something like 10,000 times larger than the beginning.

After having seen the pictures you posted I went on google for hours looking for pictures of the development. Well I only found a few good pictures! And I couldn't find a single site that offered a week by week development - in pictures!
:cry:
