On average a month is 4.4 weeks.  A pregnancy technically lasts 9 months and 1 week.  This is all too confusing and it is just easier to think of it as 10 months ;)

When you start your 32nf week you are at the beginning of your 8 the month you are a full 8 months pregnant at tbs end of your 35th week and the. When you start your 36 week you are at the beginning of your 9th month you technically carry 9 full months but 40 weeks would be the start of your 10 the month

Pregnancy math adds up if you follow it correctly - pregnancy is always lunar months (4week=1mth)

So your 32weeks ÷ 4= 8mths

36= 9mths
40= 10mths// edd

Just go with it and not think about it too much. It will make your head hurt. The pregnancy math does not add up...

It's because a month is 4 weeks plus a few days. So it's more like 9 1/2 calendar months. Using every 4 weeks as 1 month is using lunar months. Doesn't matter either way since you're still pregnant the same amount of time.

It's also because each month has different amount of days init so makes the months add upto  ten ,yet in theory when you work out 365 days, 52weeks in a year your pregnant for 40weeks (280 days)- take away 12weeks (3months )(85days) leaves 9months

With pregnancy they judge a month by simply 4 weeks, not quite the same "calendar" that we are all used to.

Lol no I realized the same thing when I first found out I was pregnant and was doing calculations of weeks and such. It's more like 10 months not 9.
