I'm quite comfortable with "week negative one".

The woman's body doesn't know if it will or will not get fertilized. It goes through the process every month on the assumption that it will. Necessary steps have to happen before fertilization, even if those steps are completely wasted most months. Is the woman "pregnant" before she's pregnant? Not by my definition, but you have to count those weeks as part of the larger process.

I'm just exploring this line of thinking...
Well, if we're looking at the larger process, as well as a thick uterine wall, she's going to need a good wide pelvis. So I figure she's been pregnant since she was about 12.
Stuff it. She needs to be a living adult female. Her whole life has been preparing for this. Pregnancy begins at birth. No, wait, conception. The
mother's conception. But hang on, that began with the
grandmother's conception. Which began with ...
Whoahhhh.... inconception.
