  I really don't know.  My dr. goes by 4 week months, so I decided to follow her example.  At 24 weeks, I am 6 months pg.

  I always go by the month I conceived.   I conceived in the middle Oct so that would make me about 3 and half months or 16 weeks pregnant.

  At this point I'm just counting backward from my due date becase it's the easiest thing for people to understand. My due date is May 24, so I'm just over 5 months right now (I have 4 months to go). I figure no one except me and DH care about precisely how far along I am.

  This is what I use because most people go by 9 months, even though it's a little off. I use weeks when dealing with people who have kids or are familiar with weeks. For my single guy friends that have no clue, I use months.

  Take your EDD and count backward. If you use 24 weeks = 6 months then you'll have a 10 month pregnancy. I'm 26 weeks today and not quite at 6 months yet. This link is great for converting weeks into months:

  But according to this chart you're finishing your 6 months at 26 weeks.

  And according it it's calculator i'm at 5.9 months. So close but not there. My EDD is May 10th which is 3 months and 9 days from today - so again, close, but not right at 6 months.

  See that still confuses me. I mean... I totally trust what you're saying... but if you use that calculator it tells you one thing... and if you just scroll down to the weeks to month thingy in the middle of the page it tells you something completely different.

  Don't know about the weeks thing for sure..but about the forcepts...one of the most vivid memories i have of delivering DD was the doctor, standing on something...knees bent, both hands pulling on the forcepts stuck in my vag, with her eyes closed..pulling w/ all her might...wholly crap i NEVER want to go through that again..i was so scared she was going to crush DD's head!

  These calculations are making my head hurt. lol

  I say weeks, even my DH doesn't like that and tries to convert to months with 4 weeks = 1 month.  I hate this for the obvious 10-month pregnancy thing.  I think I'll just go with weeks and let people figure it out for themselves.

  Oh, I get where you're getting confused. the chart says Month 6 for weeks 23.5-27. What that means is during those weeks you're in your 6th month, but you have not yet completed 6 months. Think of it like a birthday. You may turn 28 (the number of years completed), but you've been in your 28th year since your last birthday (the year in progress).

  lol... see that still doesn't help me... (not your fault).  I don't look at it as being in my 28th year until my actual birthday.  I count up and say I'm 27 and a half for 27 and 2 days.  Just like in the pregnancy thing... when I was 5 weeks pregnant I said I was just over 1 month pregnant not, "I'm in my 2nd month of pregnancy".   I guess that's why I get confused.

  Every doctor and midwife I've had for both pgs has done the 4 week month as well so I just follow that..even if its not 'right' it sure is easier, and easier for everyone to understand!
