12-24 weeks pregnant (part2)

Haha it's actually not stupid because the othe day I realised that at 24 weeks I must be 6 months pregnant, but then I got really confused as surely this must mean I'm due to give birth in 3 months, but I've still got 4 months to go!!!

So the answer is I don't know but I must be as stupid as you......

Hopefully someone who knows their stuff will come along and teach us soon!

Me and my husband had an argument about this when I was 5/6 months. It's because there is not exactly 4 weeks in a month, it's 4.33!

that is exactly why I'm asking! I worked it out like I had another 4 months to go but iv actually got more like 5! I was so confused haha.

becca me and my OH were having a big discussion over it too! that definitely makes sense that there's not exactly 4 weeks in a month ha.

I think with babies ages they class 26 weeks as being 6 months old - so I would say you are 5 months at around 21ish weeks and then 6 months at 26 weeks.
Is so confusing when you are always told you are pregnant for 9 months when in reality it is nearer to 10!

Yeah when my best friend was pregnant she told me that pregnancy lasts for ten months and I was like 'uh huh' thinking secretly she was making things up as she went along, lol, but actually she is right. It's all very strange and confusing. I just tell people weeks when they ask me, and if they ask me what that is in months I'm just sticking with 6 months.....

And, of course, you are two weeks pregnant before you ever actually conceive, as they count from the first day of your last period! Which is pretty silly, thinking about it.

Yeah cos that means everyone is pregnant!! Well every woman who has a period I guess!!! Stupid biology!!! Lol

That's because the egg is maturing during those 2 weeks

I'm so confused now
I've only just really got my head around what being x + 5 is... And it took me ages to grasp being 2 weeks pregnant before conception.... And I'm still confused about the LMP due date being different to the Scan predicted due date... So I'm now totally baffled!

I'm 19 + 2 today, that'll have to do.
