Well a lot of people aren't really familiar with the pregnancy months. If it's a guy I say oh I'm 9 months but if it's a lady I'll say 37 weeks because they're more aware of months lol. But like I said technically 40 weeks is 10 months but a lot of people don't realize that so when you think of it as ten months then they'd think November but most people think it's only 9 months which would mean we'd be due at 36 weeks. Hope that makes sense lol

If you divide by four at 40 weeks you'll be saying you're 10 months Ahahah yes mama you're 6 months!!!

People are going to disagree BUT technically 40 weeks is 10 months which typically there is only "9 months" of pregnancy so months 3, 6, 8, and 9 have an extra week added because obviously no ones gonna say "I'm 10 months pregnant" pregnancy months are counted different than by 4s
