Answer 1

I'm 34 weeks and I consider myself "in my 8th month"  When I was at 27 I was "in my 7th"

Answer 2

tell people the truth only men are too dumb to get it, tell them you due date and leave off the months part.

Answer 3

i had to do the same with my husband. haha, you tell them you have to go through the whole nine months.  just tell him you arent havning the baby till you hit 10 months.  

Answer 4

Well you aren't quite 8 months. Month 7=27-30 weeks. Week 31 is the START of your 8th month.  

Answer 5

Just tell him that we measure 4 weeks as a month.

Im due 14 nov by the way.  

If u measure 4 weeks as a month u 7 months. If u measure actual months u 6 months.

Answer 6

13 weeks = 3 months

26 weeks = 6 months

39 weeks = 9 months

So at 29 weeks you are 6month 3weeks or almost 7

Yes women are pregnant for about 40 weeks. That is not 10 months it is 9 calendar months.

4 weeks is 28 days since most months have 30 or more that rule flies out the window.  

Answer 7

I'm a husband and I just let my wife say what she wanted. You know cause of the hormones and stuff. I would just let him think what he wants as every woman you tell will know what you mean. It is only us guys that will think you are silly, but hey we are men what can we say.  

Answer 8

I agree with some of the above answers. If you measure in 4 week intervals - you are 7 months + 1 week. (7 x 4 = 28.)  

Answer 9

Drag him to the OB with you and have the doctor explain how it really IS 10 months you are pregnant.  This topic continually confounds my mom and I dragged her along with me and my husband so the doctor could explain it all to her in a way that she could understand.  

Answer 10

ignore him your right, you always will be, and especially now you always are. he should know that. Mine does :)

Answer 11

You have to remember that a month isn't exactly 4 weeks (28 days.)

There is usually 2 or 3 more days to the month, and when you've been pregnant for a while those 2 or 3 extra days a month add up to weeks.

So you're not technically 8 months pregnant. And you're not actually pregnant for for 10 months, because there isn't exactly 4 weeks in every month. =)

Answer 12

You could explain to your husband that you are due at the END of your 9th month not at the beginning of your 9th month.  Or you could just give people the number of weeks you are, which is a little more precise anyways.  

Answer 13

If you're going by the 4 weeks to a month rule, you are only 7 months.  You'll be 8 months once you hit 32 weeks.

However, since most people think pregnancy is 9 months, you can count months like this:

9 months on your due date (ex. September 14th)

8 months one month prior (August 14th)

7 months two months prior (July 14th)

etc.

Otherwise, just tell people how many weeks you are.  The month thing is pretty hazy anyway.

Edit: Your chart isn't quite right, even though it looks it at first glance:

1-4 weeks is when you are in your first month (0 months pregnant)

5-8 weeks is your second month (1 month pregnant)

etc.

It is counted the same way age is.  You aren't one year old from weeks 1-52, but you ARE in your first year.  Confused yet?  :)

Answer 14

you are at the beginning of your 8th month.. 7 months and one week.. i think that makes a big difference late in the game :)

Answer 15

When people ask, just tell them how far you are along in weeks and let them do the math.  

Answer 16

I have seen several different opinions on how to calculate the weeks to months..

Weeks 1-4

Month 2 = Weeks 5-8

Month 3 = Weeks 9-13

Month 4 = Weeks 14-17

Month 5 = Weeks 18-21

Month 6 = Weeks 22-26

Month 7 = Weeks 27-30

Month 8 = Weeks 31-35

Month 9 = Weeks 36-40

and another one is you take the weeks that you are and divide by 4..

Just tell him it's all very confusing and it's not that big of a deal.  I just tell people how many weeks I am.  :)
