When people ask how far along you are what do you say?

Michi2325 · April 2012

Do you still use weeks, or months and when do you use the next month? Hope that makes sense...

Someone asked me this weekend how far along I was and I said 4 months. I am not 4 months till this weekend officially but I figured by that last week of the month I can just round it up Stick out tongue

I've been using weeks because I'm not sure when to start the next month!

AMT1107 · April 2012

I have been saying 15 weeks but it seems to confuse a lot of people so I just say about 3 1/2 months.

My mom was telling me when she was pregnant they used to go by days... I can't imagine trying to keep up with the days.

I use weeks and sometimes round up. Since Tues is my ticker change day and I feel like I get asked the question more Fri-Sun I just add a few days. So this weekend I said 15 wks.

MichelleL1118 · April 2012

I always use weeks, months are too hard to count since most of them have 4.3 weeks, not 4 weeks exactly. If I use months (rarely), I go by the date of my LMP (1/2/12) so on April 2 I would have said 3 months, and after May 2 I'd say 4 months.

I say weeks, because that is how I think about this pregnancy.

Marianna1230 · April 2012

Most of my friends have never been pregnant so it feels like the weeks kind of throw them off so I just round up to months. It seems to make it much easier. Although, DH and I keep using weeks for ourselves.

jenada2011 · April 2012

I tell them the weeks, because I think it sounds like ton. 13 weeks, woooooaaah... Stick out tongue

misscheapandchic · April 2012

I say months. When I'm in the last week of the month I round up.

MrsFobeyFobes · April 2012

I use weeks... so much easier to keep up with.

AraDesi · April 2012

I use weeks, too. Although I could see using months with someone who hasn't been pregnant.

sushisamba · April 2012

Depends on who I'm talking to. If I'm talking to someone who hasn't been pregnant, than I use months (and try to round to the nearest 1/2 month). Otherwise I use weeks because that is how I track it.

I use weeks with DH, family and friends and months with everyone else b/c DH says he found the week thing a bit confusing at first lol!

This, exactly!

TeachGirl323 · April 2012

I have been using weeks. But I don't round up... I guess I should! So if someone asked me today I would have said 14 weeks, even though I am in my 15th week.

danienross · April 2012

I use weeks. I spend most of my time avoiding giving my exact due date so I don't worry about trying to figure out months.

CnAnA · April 2012

I use weeks, then if they look confused, I'll say how many months. So I'll say "about 14 weeks" then "about 3 1/2 months or so."

Tiff520 · April 2012

I use weeks and on occasion will use months.

hboo2011 · April 2012

I say weeks for now (and just round, if someone asked me at 12 wks 1 day I woulda said 12 wks, but 12 wks 6 days? 13 wks). When I get further along, maybe by next doc appt, I'll just start saying 'about 4 months, about 4 and a half months, etc'.

Sillygirl85 · April 2012

I use weeks as well. I have a calender from Just Mommies that tells me the days as well and the month.

alikat07 · April 2012

Weeks, I pretty much use weeks the whole pregnancy. I convert it if they give me a confused look

tatercater · April 2012

I go by weeks, but I've noticed that people who don't have kids can't compute that into months. They always ask, "Wait, how many months is that?" So then I do the math for them.

RoxanneA · April 2012

I always answer in weeks but a lot of people say, well how far along is that? So then I'll tell them in months or 13 weeks out of 40.

Clovesjellybeans · April 2012

i love this question...i tell people "13 weeks" and i get this look, and then, "how many months is that?" .....reallly? lol!

katiedidthat · April 2012

Usually I say however many weeks I've finished but I'm starting to just translate it to months instead. Last weekend I told one of DH's friends I was 13 weeks and he said- "so, like 4 months?" and I decided its just easier to guesstimate months and prevent finding out our friends are idiots haha.

MadamePresident · April 2012

I say weeks, just because its more fun to change it often. The people I hang out with are smart enough to translate weeks into months.

ChristyML · April 2012

I always say that I'll be X weeks on Thursday. If you were to ask me today how far along I am, I'd say "I'll be 14 weeks on Thursday". LOL
