I know there's several ways of working it out, but I wondered what the general view was (don't know why I'm so keen to upgrade myself!)

Surely its 26 weeks as that's half of 52.

I'm due 29th October so I count each month as the 29th of the month, IYSWIM. So I will be 6 months pregnant on 29th July. Not sure how anyone else does it!

I've always done it as 13wks = 3mths, 26wks = 6mths, 39wks = 9mths, 52wks = 1yr. Lots of baby sites often divide the 40wks up into 4wk blocks though, which implies you are pregnant for 10 'months' Confused

I refuse to be pregnant for 10 months Grin

Surely it's LMP plus 6 months?

Sorry but those pregnancy websites that try and tell you that pregnancy is 10 months are for idiots! Most people can work out that a calander monh is not 4 standar weeks (OK apart from Feb (3 out of 4 anyway)).

26 weeks is 6 months and also means you have 99 days to go - if you are sad enough to do the math.

I went by day of the month when counting in months (as opposed to weeks) - due date is 6th Oct, making "6 months" 6th July

It's 26 weeks.

The whole thing where everyone thinks a pregnancy is 9 months, and a month is 4 weeks is just confusing. 40 weeks is 9 months plus 1 week. And if there were 4 weeks in a month then we'd have 13 months in a year.

Hybrid even February wasn't 4 weeks this year! Wink
