Please help me work this out, how many MONTHS am I?

[singa06]

As of the 24th of November last year, I am 28 weeks pregnant today. Does that make me 7 months pregnant...(by dividing 4 weeks into 28)

However if you work it out from Nov 24th to today (1st June), then I am 6 months and 1 week pregnant.

I was just reading about this yesterday! When your pregnant months are counted as 'lunar' months meaning only 28 days. Compared to our normal months that are 30-31 days.


So thats how you are 7 months pregnant. Hope this helps

by calender mths your just over 6mths like you said (most people go by calender mths) if you want to be technical and go by menstral mths, then you're 7mths

Using the more old-fashioned way of measuring in months there are 9 calendar months in a pregnancy. If you were to count in lunar months (28 days) there would be 10 months in a pregnancy, but I've never heard of this being used.

If you want to measure the pregnancy in months rather than weeks just count using calendar dates, ie each "pregnancy" month will tick over on the 24th of each calendar month.
