what weeks make up what months??

Question

Everyone seems to have different answers.. what weeks make up what months of pregnancy? If you can answer me accurately, i will be forever happy! :)

Answer 1

Pregnancy months are different from calendar months. There are 4 weeks in every pregnancy month so 10 pregnancy months. There are 4 and a half weeks in a calendar month, so 9 months if you are just using a calendar.At the end of your 1st month you are then 1 month pregnant, and so on. It's like how at the end of a child's first year of life they are then 1.

1st month-1-4 weeks
2nd month-4-8 weeks
3rd month-9-12 weeks
4th month-13-16 weeks
5th month-17-20 weeks
6th month-21-24 weeks
7th month-25-28 weeks
8th month-29-32 weeks
9th month-32-36 weeks
10th month-37-40 weeks.

I am currently 7 weeks pregnant. I am in my 2nd month of pregnany, but would say I am 1 in a half months pregnant.

Answer 2

Pregnancy weeks start with the first day of your last menstrual cycle. Months are measured by weeks and not by regular calendar months. For example August has 31 days but 4 weeks at 7 days each is only 28 days, thus making August longer then a pregnancy month. So at 4 weeks in a pregnancy month time 40 weeks you are pregnant for 10 months but it only comes out to 9 calendar months. Sometimes its a little confusing, so I listed it out for you below................

Days 1 - 28 = Month 1
Day 1 - 7 = week 1
Day 8 - 14 = week 2
Day 15 - 21= week 3
Day 22 - 28= week 4 or 1 month

Days 29 - 56 = Month 2
Day 29 - 35= week 5 or 1 months 1week
Day 36 - 42= week 6 or 1 months 2 weeks
Day 43 - 49= week 7 or 1 months 3 weeks
Day 50 - 56= week 8 or 2 months

Days 57 - 84 = Month 3
Day 57 - 63= week 9 or 2 months 1 weels
Day 64 - 70=week 10 or 2 months 2 weeks
Day 71 - 77=week 11 or 2 months 3weeks
Day 78 - 84=week 12 or 3 months

Days 85 - 112 = Month 4
Day 85 - 91 =week13 or 3 months 1 week
Day 92 - 98 =week14 or 3 months 2 weeks
Day 99 - 105 =week15 or 3 months 3 weeks
Day 106 - 112=week 16 or 4 months

Days 113 - 140 = Month 5
Day 113 - 119=week17 or 4 months 1 week
Day 120 - 126=week18 or 4 months 2 weeks
Day 127 - 133=week19 or 4 months 3 weeks
Day 134 - 140=week20 or 5 months

Days 141 - 168 = Month 6
Day 141 - 147=week21 or 5 months 1 week
Day 148 - 154=week22 or 5 months 2 weeks
Day 155 - 161=week23 or 5 months 3 weeks
Day 162 - 168=week24 or 6 months

Days 169 - 196 = Month 7
Day 169 - 175=week25 or 6 months 1 week
Day 176 - 182=week26 or 6 months 2 weeks
Day 183 - 189=week27 or 6 months 3 weeks
Day 190 - 196=week28 or 7 months

Days 197 - 224 = Month 8
Day 197 - 203=week29 or 7 months 1 week
Day 204 - 210=week30 or 7 months 2 weeks
Day 211 - 217=week31 or 7 months 3 weeks
Day 218 - 224=week32 or 8 months

Days 225 - 252 = Month 9
Day 225 - 231=week33 or 8 months 1 week
Day 232 - 238=week34 or 8 months 2 weeks
Day 239 - 245=week35 or 8 months 3 weeks
Day 246 - 252=week36 or 9 months

Days 253 - 280 = Month 10
Day 253 - 259=week37 or 9 months 1 week
Day 260 - 266=week38 or 9 months 2 weeks
Day 267 - 273=week39 or 9 months 3 weeks
Day 274 - 280=week40 or 10 months

Answer 3

The reason everyone has different answers is because pregnancy months do not exactly match normal months. If you count 40 weeks by 9 pregnancy months (which are 4 weeks) you only get 36 weeks you lost a whole month there. You are really pregnant for nearly 10 months. Sorry I can not give you the exact equation to transfer it over because I do not believe there is one.

Answer 4

For understanding pregnancy week by week, you usually go through 40 weeks of pregnancy. These 40 weeks are divided into three pregnancy trimesters - from Week 1 to 12, from Week 13 to 27, and Week 28 to 40.

First Trimester
Week 1- Week 12

Second Trimester
Week 13- Week 27

Third Trimester
Week 28- Week 40


http://theparentsite.com/pregnancy/trimesters.asp

4 weeks = 1 month pregnant
8 weeks = 2 months pregnant
12 weeks = 3 months pregnant
16 weeks = 4 months pregnant
20 weeks = 5 months pregnant
24 weeks = 6 months pregnant
28 weeks = 7 months pregnant
32 weeks = 8 months pregnant
36 weeks = 9 months pregnant

Answer 5

The typical pregnancy is 40 weeks, or 9 months. Everyone gets hung up about this because they all seem to think that there are exactly 4 weeks in a month - but there are 4.35 weeks in a month, on average. So the best thing to do is count your pregnancy by weeks when you're talking to the doctor, since that's how they measure it. To figure out your months, what I always did was took my due date and counted back - like I was due December 5th, so in August I considered myself 5 months along - regardless of day or week.

Answer 6

The first trimester is weeks 1-14 so that would be month 1-3. Second trimester is weeks 15-28 making that months 4-6. Third trimester is weeks 29-40 months 7-9.

Answer 7

i get hella confused on this too. I asked a similar question yesterday...31 weeks makes me how many months...Most of the answers I got was 7 months n 3 weeks. But then i just looked at some answers for this question...So that makes me 8 months already. I honestly don't have an accurate answer for u. So sorry because i am confused on this myself.

Answer 8

4 weeks is month 1 of preg...
8 weeks is month 2
12 weeks is month 3
16 weeks is month 4
20 weeks is month 5
24 weeks is month 6
28 weeks is month 7
32 weeks is month 8
36 weeks is month 9
40 weeks is month 10

Each pregancy is technically 9 1/2 months because they start your weeks from the 1st day of your last period so technically when you are considered 8 weeks pregnant you've only REALLY been pregnant 6 weeks meaning you ovulated and got pregnant 6 weeks ago. Hope that makes sense.

Answer 9

There are 40 weeks in a pregnancy cycle. You still go by the calendar months (since months don't change just because you are pregnant) but you count 40 weeks. Check with your doctor if you are still questioning the length of pregnancy.

Answer 10

week 1-4 month 1
week 4-8 month 2
week 8-12 month 3
week 12-16 month 4
week 16-20 month 5
week 20-24 month 6
week 24-28 month 7
week 28-32 month 8
week 32-36 month 9
week 36-40 (if you get that far) month 10

This is why they have gone to using a week system instead of a month system. The reason most people think of pregancy as 9 months is because you don't find out usually until you are in month 2.
