What do you say when people ask how far along you are?

goldenleaves · September 2011

I round off the days. For examply, if someone were to ask me today how far along I am, I would tell them 17 weeks. I figure the average joe doesn't really care exactly how many days pregnant I am.

What do you do?

I saw it in weeks but then they usually ask how many months is that.

I hate when people ask in months! I can't do math in my head.

I'm always like, "18 weeks..um...uh...four months..ish." :-P

But NOW, I've decided to say "About halfway!"

I round off too...I am saying 17 weeks right now. A father at my school tried to ask me how many months that was yesterday....I had no idea. I will be 4 months Sept 25th I guess - but I like counting in weeks.

I just tell them my due date. Nobody really cares how many weeks it is, and I find if I say I'm 18 weeks the next question will be, so that means you're due when? I just save them a step.

If it's another mom or one of my husband's coworkers (he's a doctor), I tell them in weeks. If it's anyone else, I round to the nearest month.

It depends on who asks

If it is someone who does not have kids, then I use months. If it is someone who has kids I am likely to use weeks.

I started telling them "Halfway." I was "about halfway" for two weeks. I'm sure I'll switch to "A bit over halfway." LOL Then maybe I'll remember months. I am not figuring out months for ya, people! LOL

This is what I do too!

Same here! "Oh, we're due in February, so we're just about half-way through."

Me too! And then I follow up with "due in Feb."

Sweetest116 · September 2011

I round up

So right now I'd say I'm in my 18th week... which isn't untrue. Then I say I'm due in February.

sparks2987 · September 2011

I mix it up, sometimes I say months and sometimes I say weeks! I am big for only 17 weeks so I hate when people ask because they always say "wow" or are you sure you arent further along? " your going to get huge!" ect.

KatelynEA90 · September 2011

I do the same thing. My week change is on Sunday and I start saying the next week from Friday. I hadn't noticed I did that until you posted this.

Certain people, like my BFF's mom who would love to know, I give a little more detail like "I'll be 17 weeks on Sunday" or something similar. Half the time I don't know what day it is so I don't remember how many days I am.

This, exactly!

cheese.fiend · September 2011

I just say what week I'm on (I don't round up -- mostly b/c I'm not showing) and then add "I'm due at the very end of Feb."

This! I round off as well.
