trimester/month/week chart
I know there was a recent post debating when you technically enter a new month/new trimester in pregnancy. Well, I found this chart on babycenter, and thought it was worth sharing.
I'm 17w2d, which I thought was my 4th month, but according to BBC, it's still my 3rd. Oh well!

Can anyone please explain to me how your third month has 5 weeks in it 
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but this is my 1st pregnancy and I'm new to all this
A week is 7 days. 4 weeks * 7 days = 28 days.
A calendar month is 30-31 days (except Fe of course).
Therefore, A true month is more than 4 weeks. Every few months a 5th week is added to catch up.
If you think about the whole year, there are 52 weeks. If we said a month was 4 weeks, then 4*12 would only equal 48.

Hmm good point! That makes sense now, guess it just looks weird bc only certain months have an extra week added to it lol
