That's my point there is atleast 4wks in every month so there would be a lot of left over days over the course of a pregnancy going by your...erm..reckoning. Think about it, it'd be well over 10 months in that case. Oh my days, I give up. You take your 10 months if you like, makes no odds to me. My pregnancy is 9 months as stated by me, my doctor, midwife and hospital LOL! :)

The only month with exactly 28 days (four weeks as 7*4 is 28) is February.  Every other month is four point something weeks so dividing by four does not work. My last period was march 20th and I am due christmas day. So 12 (december) minus 3 (march) is nine not ten. The break down posted is correct. It is highly simplifying the math to say that there are four weeks in a month.

Pregnancy is 10 months in lunar months only as there's 4wks exactly to a lunar month. Pregnancy is 9 calendar months. There's only February that has exactly 4wks in (except on a leap year ofcourse). And you may not even necessarily be pregnant during Feb, depends on where your pregnancy falls. Every other month has 4wks + 2 or 3 days so it's not accurate to split 40wks by 4. Just wanted to put that out there lol ;)

Thanks to OP for posting, very useful :)
