I have never heard of anyone seeing a heart beat at 4 weeks pregnant. 4 weeks after conception is approx. 6 weeks pregnant since you're counting the two week prior to conception.
I was 6 weeks pregnant, which is 4 weeks after conception. It's weird, but for some reason they start counting the pregnancy on the day of your last period, even though conception doesn't happen until about 2 weeks after that if your cycle is regular.
Right. So 4 weeks pregnant is really only 2 weeks post conception. I'm just saying, it doesn't give a woman much time to make a decision. My OB won't even have a woman into the office to verify a pregnancy on ultrasound until 8 weeks pregnant (which is pretty standard these days) so, according to this law, by the time a woman can have a potentially viable pregnancy verified via imaging, it's already too late for her to decide to terminate. Talk about a road block. I'm surprised your doc saw you so early, CL. Is that standard for your OB or did you request to come in sooner than 8 weeks? If you don't mind me asking, Ofc. [emoji170]
