I'm a little confused...

[nikkybaby]

So if I'm 17 weeks prego...how many months am I??? So many sites give you so many answers. I just dont know

 

[princess2323]

17 weeks if u go by the 4 week months giving u 10 months instead of 10 u would be 4 months and one week so every 4 weeks is a month even though its really a lil more than that---but it keeps it easy to keep track of ---- and just cause they say u carry this baby for 9 months doesnt mean u really do--- when ur 40 weeks you're really finishing ur 9th month

but every site says differently

month one 1-4
month two 5-8
month three 9-12
month four 13-16
month five 17-20
month six 21-24
month seven 25-28
month eight 29-35
month nine 36-40

Thanks!

Hi Princess how come there are six weeks in month 8?

Shouldn't it be more like:

month one 1-4
month two 5-8
month three 9-12
month four 13-16
month five 17-20
month six 21-24
month seven 25-28
month eight 29-32
month nine 33-36
month ten 37-40

I agree this is confusing!!

 

[nikkybaby]

well at least I'm not the only one who is confused...

 

[princess2323]

haha u're right why dont u correct that u see i started out the first half and then i started backwards lol
lol ya i c u already fixed it lol ...sorry about that ===dont know what i was thinking when i wrote it

That still doesn't seem right to me....unless I got pregnant way before I think I did and was pregnant throughout my period... I'm 22 weeks and due on feb.28..going by what you have there above it's saying i'm already 6 months!Which would mean i'm due end of jan beginning of feb.
Each month has a little more then 4 weeks. About 4 weeks and 4 days I think. So I must actually be less than 22 weeks... But even then i'm measuring 22 weeks.. lol...
I'm totally confused as well about all of this.

 

[nikkybaby]

Okay...see? This is ridiculously confusing How is anyone supposed to figure this stuff out? I'm about to give up

Well my due date is the 20th December so every 20th of the month I figure Im another month!

1 months - 20th April (bfp month)
2 months - 20th May
3 months - 20th June
4 months - 20th July
5 months - 20th August
6 months - 20th September
7 months - 20th October (now so im 7 months 2 days)
8 months - 20th November
9th month full term - 20th December

Thats how I've worked it anyway! x

8 months - 20th November
9th month full term - 20th December

Now that makes sense, think I'll go by that method as well, best to count backwards from the due date.

i agree
besides the whole thing is confusing
some say welcome to ur 6th month some say welcome to ur 7th some even say congrats u just started ur third tri-- so who do u follow? --- personally i just go by weeks thats what most do anyway--- and then for the months---i watch that lil ticker move and count that as the month im in ---

I agree with that idea. Thats what I'm gunna do. Otherwise, I will never get over this confusion.

I was just going to go by the 28th of each month since thats my due date as well Wobbles. So this 28th i'll be 5 months. Going by that other method just screws with my head lol
