think it was this that confuddled me, was thinking why would ppl count it as 9?

Other way round - they're saying that if you are 8 weeks, you're in your 9th week (just as at the start when you would be no weeks, it's your first week of pregnancy).

So as you're 8+1, you're in your 9th week x

As Sam's mum said, it's because your 1st week is days 1-7 not week one.... It made sense in my head, hope it does to you!
