Confused.. How Many months pregnant at 21 weeks?

6 replies

Hi ladies,

I'm 21 weeks pregnant on Monday (I'm due 14th May)

I was just wondering how many months pregnant I would be?? I'd say 5 months but my husband thinks 4 and when researching some websites say 4 others 5 so feeling confused!

But then if you were going in weeks 20 weeks would be 5 months. Then 21-24 would be 6 months. Or am I going wrong with all this?
Can some please clear it up for me.

You're in your 5th month of pregnancy

Not every month is 28 days long as some are 30 and 31 days which means each month is roughly 4.3. That's why the chart helps!

Thank you @PasstheStarmix
This was exactly what I was looking for!!
Love the chart too, it makes it so much easier to understand. Xx

”But then if you were going in weeks 20 weeks would be 5 months.”

Confused No it wouldn’t. There are 52 weeks in a year not 48. 26 weeks is 6 months, therefore 5 months is about 21.5 weeks-ish.

You are nearly 5 months.

You are welcome and congratulations!! Enjoy every moment. Ds is now 10 months old and it flies by! I got so confused when I was pregnant too when people would ask me how many months so I swore by the chart and had it in my phone in my notes. Good luck Flowers x
