Re: Stupid Question

You just started your 7th month. What confuses people is that you really are pregnant for 10 mths, NOT 9Chat Icon

Re: Stupid Question

Actually- you are pregnant for 40 weeks. Because each month can have anywhere between 30 and 31 days (Feb with 28/29), a month is roughly considered to have 4.3 weeks in it.

40 weeks divided by 4.3= 9.3 months.

At 28 weeks you are IN your 7th month.

It's a misconception that we are pregnant for 10 months.

Re: Stupid Question

See I figured 40w = 10months at 4w per month.. sooo how is it 9mths?

BUT 40th week (due date) would be the final week of your nine months since you've COMPLETED 40weeks, hence you are completely 9month preggos. Past your due date you are 9mths and x days (or past due).

So at 28weeks I think 28 divided by 4 = 7 so I think I've COMPLETED 7 months and Im now 7months and a day..

Hence I get all twisted around.

sorry if that made it worse by the way

Re: Stupid Question

See my above post. Here's the deal:

4 weeks=4x7=28.
No month has 28 days (except for Feb, obviously).
Each month actually has 4.2 (30 days) or 4.3 (31) weeks in it.

I've always gone on the 4.3 weeks in a month.

get it now?
