There is a list of acronyms

9 + 4 means 9 weeks and 3 days pregnant

Welcome to Mumsnet! :)

D'oh. 9 + 4 obviously means 9 weeks and 4 days pregnant, not 3!

Purplecupcakes32 · 28/09/2013 08:18

thank you Vivi, that's very helpful. Why is the number of weeks broken down in that way?

Hello! Welcome Grin

Numbers are pregnancy dates such as 9 weeks 4 days pregnant.

Dd- dear/darling daughter, just change the 2nd letter to indicate p-partner, h-husband, s-son etc

Iykwim - if you know what I mean

Er, let me know what else you want to know Grin

Oh, hth - hope that helps!
