A curosity question.
If I am 24weeks preg, am i classified as being 6months preg? or, are you not 6 months preg until the end of that 6th month, which would then be when you are 28weeks preg? Or, are you 6 months anywhere between 24 & 28weeks?
Make sense? How does it all work. I always tell people how many weeks i am, but i would like to say that i am '.....months preg' cause it sounds more significant.
26 weeks is half of 52, therefore making you 6 months officially at 26 weeks. This is what rule I follow anyway :) I don't classify myself as being 7 months pregnant until 29/30 weeks, does that make sense?
I agree with the first part, in theory, but, if 40 weeks preg, is 9 months, then you would be 7 months preg at 28 weeks. which would then make 6 months be 24 weeks. Cause at 30weeks, you only got 10weeks to go, which is 2.5months.
40 weeks isn't 9 months :)
Tricky isnt it? if you go on the theory that there are 4.3333 weeks per month, then it is 9 months, but, if you go on the 4 weeks a month theory, then its 10 months. And i think thats where i get mixed up. I vary between the 2 theories which does my head in.
I'm due the 15th Aug so I've been counting back from there ie. on the 15th March I will be 4 months (18wks), 15th Feb I was 3 months (14wks). Weeks/months just don't work with the theory 4 weeks in a month.
i just made an executive decision.
1 month equals 4.4444weeks (40w / 9m).
Therefore - 6 months equals 26.6666 weeks, so, prob - 26 (like ashlee said) or 27weeks.
And from that, 7 months is 31 weeks.
Also works with Bridee's method.
So i am sorta sorted now.
Can I just add that the average pregnancy is worked out to be 9months and 1 week :)
Eg, the first day of my lmp was the 17th of november, so 9 months plus 1 week equals 24the of August :)

too confusing, thats why i stick to weeks only LOL.
Yeah it actually goes to the end of 9 months whic is really 10 months.. I am 6 months i am 24 weeks which to me is 6 months and im stickingto it butthen when you say ive got 16 weeks to go ????????? thats 4 months... they should say you incubate for 10 months....
It's soooo confusing isn't it? Just go with whatever you want I say lol stuff what everyone else thinks :D They really should say pregnancy is more like 9.5 or 10 months, cos in most cases, it is!
When people ask me how many months, i tell them how mnay months (or in my case now, weeks) I have left till bub is due... So bub is due in 2 weeks for me (mid march).... but back in say mid December, I would have called myself 6 months pregnant, and told people the baby is due in 3 months.... People dont understand the number of weeks thing, i find.
I think of a month as a calender month, rather than 4 weeks...
Karina, ITA that people that don't know much about pregnancy get totally confused when you say weeks. I said recently "I'm X amount of weeks" and they jsut stared at me blankly, as if to say "Ok so that means what?"
