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

By weeks, at 20 weeks you are 5 months. That's how I count it. Every 4 weeks is a month.

I always considered 5 months to be 20 weeks personally. It depends on how you look at the charts and calendars as well, because that follows a 4 week month, and most months are not 28 days, but rather 30-31. Accounting for the extra days you're actually pregnant for 10 months, not 9.
