Month Breakdowns..

TheRealNJhousewife

So, this is totally a first trimester question, but my confusion is still remaining. How do you break down your months? Everything I read is always different from each other by at least a week or 2. 

What month are you in? How do you consider the months??

4 weeks to the month, that's how i figure it.

Or...you if you have time, just count the days..the average month has about 30 days to it.

There is no way that 22 weeks is 6 months....that's less then 4 weeks per month. Sorry.

Average 4.5 weeks per month...if you do 4 weeks per month then pregnancy lasts 10 months (40 weeks/4weeks=10 months). If you go with 4.5, then 4.5 x 9 = 40.5 weeks.

You'll be 5 months pregnant, but in the beginning of your sixth month

Yep Anja That's why I just tell people how many weeks I am because it's too confusing otherwise lol

Most sites you will go to will list me as 6. That's why I don't go by months, it's more confusing to break it down that way.

I'll be 24 weeks tomorrow. So I have completed 5 1/2 months.

I just count both fro example each Friday I change weeks but on the 10th of each month I change months.  I don't really worry about how many weeks are in each month.  But What to Expect When You're Expecting is pretty accurate. 

Month 1  weeks 1-4

Month 2  weeks 5-8

Month 3  weeks 9-13

Month 4  weeks 14-17

Month 5  weeks 18-22

Month 6  weeks 23-27

Month 7  weeks 28-31

Month 8  weeks 32-35

Month 9  weeks 36-40

It may be that mine just fits but I always switch months either exactly on the same day or during the same week as it lays out.
