Do you still think or your LO's age by weeks?

blushingbrideoct07 · February 2010

I don't. I lost track of how many weeks she has been for a while now and go by months.

fairychick77 · February 2010

Not anymore....I think I lost count around 13 or 14 weeks.

Wed notdead! · February 2010

Me too. After 12 weeks, I started going by months.

haleymay18 · February 2010

No way. I just say months or months and a half. KWIM?

leahraewku · February 2010

I lost count a while back. SIL asked me how many weeks old Evie was the other day and it took me a while to stop and do the math.

JandR07 · February 2010

Not here either. I lost track after 13 weeks.

ivs112 · February 2010

I started going by months once she hit 3 months.

Scooter359 · February 2010

Since he turned 1 month Ive been going by months. I hate hearing "16 weeks old" ...even worse I hate when I hear 24 months, why cant you just say 2 years?

iowagirl73 · February 2010

Oh hell no. I stopped counting by weeks I think around 6wk...8wk tops. No one is going to want to do the math of 13wk, 17wk, 21wk, etc. in their head. It is just easier to say 4mos, almost 4.5mos, etc.

I don't. And I judge people who say "my baby is 16 weeks, therefore he/she is 4 months."

I do the same thing. ?I so bad want to tell them they are stupid and it does not work that way.?

mernamom · February 2010

Nope. I'd have to sit and add the weeks up at this point actually. I think I stopped around 12 weeks.

BScar · February 2010

I have pretty much lost track of the weeks, and i know this is stupid but do you go by the calendar for months or the # of weeks divided by 4? For instance, my son will be 16 weeks on Saturday. So is he 4 months, or is he 4 months on his birth date, the 31st? Always wondered how everyone calculated...not that it makes much of a difference!

The other day, I was chatting to a mom at the mall, waiting for the change table, and asked how old her adorably sweet daughter was.

"18 months."

"So a year and a half, cute."

"Whatever 18 months is."

Serious eye roll.

Besides, I lost track ages ago. DS is 4.5 months. Smile

EMTX · February 2010

I still do keep track of the weeks, just because he was born on a Monday and I always think of it as Mondays come... but I will probably stop at 20 weeks or so.

I go by calendar months. DS2 was born on Oct. 9. On Feb. 9 he was 4mos old. On Mar. 9 he will be 5mos old. And so on and so forth.

ashandres228 · February 2010

I lost count WAY back. I just say he's 3 1/2 months or like now I would say he's almost 4 months old.

I thought the same thing when women on the tri boards said "I'm 40 weeks pregnant so I'm 10 months along." No you're not.

SusieQ1982 · February 2010

Nope. Since about 2 months, I think in months.

This. Exactly.

IEtoLA · February 2010

I lost track at 12 weeks...Now I round it by months. So I would say DD is about 4.5 months.

HisMrs07 · February 2010

Once she turned 2 months I stopped going by weeks. It seemed to just confuse people

reannegummer · February 2010

I lost count after 10 weeks. I have referred to her in months once she was a month and a half or so. I also can't stand when some people think that four weeks = a month.

I have a friend who put on FB today that she was 14 weeks pregnant and therefore 3 and a half months... I was thinking nope, you're due on August 19th and that is exactly six months from now. You're therefore only 3 months pregnant.

How people think they're preggo for 10 months is beyond me.

Mabzie · February 2010

I use months.

JennifernKevin4ever · February 2010

I stopped after 8 weeks.

I hate this too! I saw somewhere, a person wrote 30 months! To me, that's like giving someone the price of something in nickels -that costs 32 nickels.

Although when I was pregnant I would sometimes say how far I was in weeks because the whole 10month/40weeks thing was confusing to people.
