That's fine I'm not telling you to stop doing it that way, I am just saying statistically yes, MOST doctors do count it this way. I've researched a lot in pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding and that's what I have learned from countless doctors, nurses and midwives....but every doctor is different, and every mama is different so to each their own...just trying to help you understand why other mamas do it differently, they aren't being dumb and "not knowing simple math", they are attempting to count it the way that the majority of doctors do. Just trying to help.

uhh yeah 40 weeks is ten months ...pretty sure I know how to count quite fine .and yeah that's cool and all but seeing that every woman gets pregnant at different times and there's 28 days In Feb 30 days in some months and 31 in others its just easier to Me to count the way I stated to count it..and as I said before MOST doctors don't count it that way because my doctor does NOT..maybe YOURS do..cool for y'all lol. @hellosweetie

Lol well I mean it makes sense if you think about it, 4 weeks is 28 days, there are 31 days in a month....but whatever works, most doctors go by this chart or similar ones though lol or just count the weeks instead of months, since in a normal pregnancy 40 weeks is full term....which if you count by 4 weeks in a month 40 weeks is more than 9 months btw haha

lol nah I don't agree with that way it complicates things I just like to look at it as four weeks in a month and call it a day..even my doctor counted it the way I did I've seen over like four doctors and they all counted it the way I do. I don't like the charts. @hellosweetie

I lot of people get it confused because they think 4 weeks equals 1 month, 8 weeks 2 months and so on....when in reality a month is more like 4 weeks and 3 days, so the months are broken up a little differently than just every 4 weeks for pregnancy...I always show confused mamas this chart to help them, most doctors go by this or by a system very similar 😉
