Don't worry. Its kinda goofy but they calculate the babies age based on you last menstrual cycle, not the date of conception.

Presumably you start your menstrual 2 (approx.)wks prior to conception.

A period nine weeks ago would result in conception seven weeks ago.

DOes that make sense?

I know its confusing. Hope this helps

God bless and take care!
