I personally count the months of pregnancy by every 4 weeks. (4 weeks pregnant is one month, 8 weeks is 2 months, 12 weeks is 3 months, 20 weeks is 5 months, 28 weeks is 7 months, 36 weeks is 9 months and 40 weeks is 10 months). I count it this way because this is how my OB counts pregnancy weeks and advised me to count this way.

However, I know people who count pregnancy months by each month closer to their due date. For example, I’m due May 24th and I’m 27 weeks pregnant so I consider myself to be 6 months & 3 weeks along. I have a friend who is also due May 24th and she doesn’t consider herself to be 6 months pregnant until the 24th of this month, since that will be 3 months until her/our due date. She does it this way because this is how her OB counts the pregnancy months.

I realize there is no right or wrong way to count the months of pregnancy, I’m just curious as to how everyone else does it!
