Why is pregnancy 9 months, 40 weeks?

Question

Isnt it technically 10 months then? I'm confused. Can someone explain.

Answer

It's because a month is 30 or 31 days and 4 weeks is only 28 days; so, that means that a month is a little longer than 4 weeks and that pregnancy 9 months

Answer

It’s because a human gestational period lasts for an average of 280 days. 280 days divided by 7 days in a week equals 40 weeks. 😊👶🏼

Answer

Cause a month doesn't have 4 weeks each, but 4.3 weeks each on average

Answer

I wondered the same thing lol
