Hi my Name is Tracy and this is all new to me. I was woundering how many weeks are you whenyour 7 months?
You're actually pregnant for 10 months, not 9. (It's 9 WHOLE months.)
You enter the 9th month at 36 weeks when that 9th month is over at 40 weeks, you're actually entering your 10th month... but that's going by a lunar calendar. (Lunar calendar = 28 days, or 4 weeks, in a month.)
However, since we don't go by a lunar calender and there are actually an average of 4.3 weeks in a month, it evens out to 9 months in the long run... which is why we say we're X weeks pregnant rather than X months.
Have I confused everyone yet?
Like I said, it's only 10 months if you go by the lunar calendar, which we do not use in modern society... it's actually 9 months going by the Gregorian calender (which is what we use).you'd think they'd start saying it was 10 months. I mean, really.
Ha! Ok, well then if it's not supposed to make sense then there's nothing to misunderstand!
I wouldn't think they would count differently in different countries considering we all run on the same calender.... then again, not everything is supposed to make sense.
