im so confused.
when people ask me how far along am i (pregnant)
i dont know what to say in months.
can any body help.

im just over 18 weeks.
(as you can see from my ticker)

charlottecco2

i think that means you are about 4 months on the 9 month scale xx

I'd say 4 and a half months but since we are pregnant for 40 weeks rather than exactly 9 months it does get a bit confusing so I make it up most of the time. Especially since I often can't remember which week I'm on (my ticker on here is the only thing which reminds me!) & it takes me ages to work out what that would be in months. I'm terrible at maths.

Mrs-N

so if i am 4 months how come my ticker is on the 5th box. surly it should be on the 4th box

oh so confusing

charlottecco2

yeah i don't know why that is because mine is on the 6th box and i am 5 months pregnant and i am 6 weeks on from you so that would make you no more than 4 months, gosh its confusing xx

Mrs-N

is this right.

4 weeks = 1 month
8 weeks = 2 months
12 weeks = 3 months
16 weeks = 4 months
20 weeks = 5 months
24 weeks = 6 months
28 weeks = 7 months
32 weeks = 8 months
36 weeks = 9 months
40 weeks = 10 months.


so will i be 5 months when im 20 weeks?

i guess that when someone asks me how far along am i i could say it in weeks but will they think im going over the top as im counting the weeks instead of months. x x

charlottecco2

Month 1 = Weeks 1-4
Month 2 = Weeks 5-8
Month 3 = Weeks 9-13
Month 4 = Weeks 14-17
Month 5 = Weeks 18-21
Month 6 = Weeks 22-26
Month 7 = Weeks 27-30
Month 8 = Weeks 31-35
Month 9 = Weeks 36-40

This is the conversions i found, so it would make you just 5 months?? xx

Mrs-N

oh thats mad it clearer. thanks. so ill be 6 months when in 22 weeks?
so thats why my ticker is on the 5 box

charlottecco2

yes and thats why i'm in the 6th box, it makes sense now xx

bethanylee

it depends on how long the month is!

I say that I go up a month every time my due date comes along in that month. So I'm due on July the 9th. On March the 9th, I'll say I'm 5 months.

It actually annoys me a bit when people ask how far along I am, and I say it in weeks, and they try to 'month-ise' me! I suppose I am just being really irritable about it...
