How many months am I really????

Question

I may sound so clueless but, I am confuse. They said the pregnancy is 40 weeks...in my calculation in order to get 9 months out of the 40 weeks... it's 5 weeks each month. Isn't suppose to be every 4 weeks though??? I'm almost twelve weeks... Does that means I'm three months pregnant???? Okay please mother's explain????

Answer 1

I had a hard time understanding this at first when I became pregnant also. What people don’t tell you is that you are pregnant until the end of your 9th month. So that adds on 4 more weeks of pregnancy. So you are actually pregnant for 10 months, not 9. So 4 weeks in a month times 10 months = 40 weeks. So if you are 12 weeks along you are at the end of your third month. When you enter 13 weeks you will have entered your 4 month of pregnancy.


1-4 weeks along = 1 Month
5-8 = 2 Months
9-12 = 3 Months
13-16 = 4 Months
17-20 = 5 Months
21-24 = 6 Months
25-28 = 7 Months
29-32 = 8 Months
33-36 = 9 Months
37-40 = 10 Months but people still refer to this as month 9

Answer 2

Okay this is how it works, and yes it is very confusing. You are technically pregnant for ten months, but you do not count the month till it is over. So at 40 weeks you are 10 months pregnant, but at 39 weeks you are 9 months and 3 weeks. Does that help.
When you reach 4 weeks you are 1 month
8 weeks- 2 months
12 weeks-3 months
16 weeks-4 months
20 weeks- 5 months
24 weeks- 6 months
28 weeks- 7months
32 weeks- 8 months
36 weeks- 9 months
40 weeks- 10 months

I the inbetween times you are a certain month and so many weeks. So when you are 13 weeks you are 3 months and a week, 14 weeks you will be 3 months and two weeks, 15 weeks 3 months and three weeks, then at 16 weeks you will then be 4 months.

You don't go by calender months for pregnancy you go by the week of conception. What week amount a days your doctor give you. Like when I first went in I learn that I would go up a week every friday, it was on a friday I concieved, so every friday begins a new week of pregnancy for me.

Answer 3

U are probably considered just about 2 1/2 months..U will be 3 months when u hit 13 weeks,thats how the doctors calculate it although we would believe 3 months is 12 weeks. In essence pregnancies last 10 months not nine months because 40 weeks does round off to 10 months,doctors put these into weird terms.Thats why doctors usually refer out months into weeks such as u are 10,14,16 and so on weeks instead of 2,3,4 months etc..I have a site that I go to that tells me exactly how far along I am in months and weeks and will explain it all to you..

Answer 4

There are 10, 4 week/28 day pregnancy months, which is 9.5 calender months. The 40 weeks is calculated from your LMP. The first 2 weeks you aren't really pregnant so you are only really pregnant for 9 months. You are 3 months pregnant in pregnancy months, but just a little less than 3 months in calender months.

Answer 5

Yeah it is confusing, you've got a lot of good information here already so I'll just add my way of keeping track. Take a calender, find your due date and label that 'End of 40th week' and work backwards from there. Then do the same for months, for example my due date is April 10, 2007 so I label April 10 as 'End of 9th month' and then March 10 as 'End of 8th month' ect.

There are several good pregnancy calculators online that will tell you how many weeks you are based on your due date or on the date of your last missed period (LMP) or the date you ~think~ you conceived.

Answer 6

When they say a pregnancy is 9 months....you actually go through all 4 weeks of the 9th month so technically it is 10 months. Most people just count the weeks anyway.

You are 3 months by the way......you will be in your second trimester in 2 weeks

Answer 7

Yeah its confusing! You technically are pregnant for 10 months, not 9. So if you are almost 12 weeks then you are 3 months. Hope that helps some :-)

Answer 8

Pregnancy is usually a 40 week gestation. They term it in months for ease of use. You are 12 weeks which would be the last part of your first Trimester or three months. Think in weeks ;)

and congratulations on your baby!

Best of Luck

Answer 9

There are 30-31 days everymonth, except february ,which works out to be 4.5 weeks every month, but febrary is only 4 weeks. You can calculate pregnancy in three ways, by weeks, regular months (4.5 weeks), or lunar months (4 weeks). Normal months, you prgress a month by your due date and with lunar months you pregress a month by every four weeks. Hope this helps. It is easier to figure it out be weeks, or you can write each "month" on the day that your baby is due ex; if your due date is the 10th then you would be one month on the tenth of Febrary and two months on the tenth of March, then you can figure out half months from there. That is how i have always done it and it works out exactly the same as the doctors.

Answer 10

i'd ask the LL if it is feasible to leave on the 15th with out paying the finished month. you've lived there for 2 years so that you're for sure a good tenant so he will be amenable for your request. even with the very shown actuality that each and each body states except CA require that lease classes start up on the first and end on the purely appropriate day of the month it is as a lot because the LL to bend the guidelines a touch. good success.
