So i get how 40 weeks is 9 months of pregnancy cuz not every month is exactly 4 weeks but im confused how its divided. I…

@ib.crazyskittles18 The last stretch some months have extra Wednesdays (5 in one month instead of 4). The first stretch has only one and is short one as well because you can only count 3 in May.

@s.k.a.m i did may 10 so then the last week of September is 20 weeks then from beginning of october to beginning of feb is also 20 weeks but only 4 months not 5...

@ib.crazyskittles18 because you're not counting the month you stop in the middle of for 20 weeks. For example may 6th- Sept 23 is 20 weeks. So may to Sept is 5 months. Sept 23-Feb 10 is 20 weeks. Sept to Feb is 5 months. Just not full months. Pregnancy is over 9 months.

@s.k.a.m it doesnt matter what day i start counting if i go 40 weeks from any date the first 5 months equals 20 weeks and somehow the last 4 months is also 20 weeks

@ib.crazyskittles18 Some months have 5 Fridays for example. So you'll get five weeks in one month. If you have enough that are short they will add up if you counting from a Friday.

@ib.crazyskittles18 it's hard to help make sense out of it when I don't know what day you're counting from.

@s.k.a.m but 4 months wouldnt add up to another 4 weeks

@ib.crazyskittles18 it's just depends on how many weeks are in that month. None of them are a perfect 4 week month. Some have 5 Fridays etc so the months won't be equal amounts.

@s.k.a.m no thats not whats confusing me

@ib.crazyskittles18 what's an estimate then? They'll ask you at the doctor since that's what they usr rather than date you had sex

@ib.crazyskittles18 Once you see one they'll give you an accurate due date. I'm guessing your confusion comes from going from the date of conception instead of the first day of your last period. The date of conception can be off unless you know the date you ovulated because sperm can live for awhile inside.

@s.k.a.m not 100% sure

@ib.crazyskittles18 what was the first day of your last period?

@s.k.a.m i havent seen a doctor at all

@ib.crazyskittles18 have you seen the gyno at all yet or still waiting? Normally the first doctor will tell you but he must have just waited for the gyno

@s.k.a.m nope

@ib.crazyskittles18 Like your regular doctor? The one who confirms your pregnancy with the bloodwork and orders your first ultrasound

@s.k.a.m what general practioner

@ib.crazyskittles18 the general practitioner who referred you to a gyno never gave you one?

@s.k.a.m i didnt get a due date from my doctor

@ib.crazyskittles18 using your current due date that you got from your doctor (in February) how many extra weeks would you have January? 2?

@s.k.a.m i wouldnt be due in february then

But if you're due in February and an additional 20 only gets you to January?

@s.k.a.m no extra?

@ib.crazyskittles18 how much extra?

@s.k.a.m no

@ib.crazyskittles18 are you ending up with an extra 4 weeks to your due date? Like in January is there 4 weeks extra to your due date?

@s.k.a.m still would have the same issue im confused about in my post

@ib.crazyskittles18 they estimate your due date using the first day of your last period not the date of conception

@s.k.a.m conception

Conception

Are you counting from the day of conception or the first day of your last period?
