Easier to say (about/a little over/almost 4 months). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-317428 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 11:44:18 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 317428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: yepp! totally agree.</p> <p>I went by weeks but next time I am not sharing my DD and just going in general by months. I already have had people texting me asking me where baby is....um, i'm 12 days away still! leave me alone! It's still September for goodness sakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315492 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:05:35 +0000 kml636 315492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go by weeks. Then I find that people try to calculate that into months by dividing by 4. Even though a month is 4.3 weeks, not 4 weeks. Confusing... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315487 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 12:03:06 +0000 ladyfingers 315487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go by weeks but sometimes I get a blank stare so I do quick math and give them months :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315473 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:58:17 +0000 Running Elley 315473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always weeks. I'll say I'm __ weeks and then I'll add how many more until my due date (since not everyone knows pregnancy is 40 weeks). For example, right now I'd say I'm 37 and a half weeks, 2 and a half weeks until DD! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315383 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:16:47 +0000 mrsjyw 315383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>weeks for dh and myself, but months for when ppl ask how far along i am :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315370 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:13:11 +0000 oahujeni 315370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I go by weeks, it's just easier for me to remember </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315362 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 11:10:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 315362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weeks when talking to other moms or friends, but other people I usually do months. I used to get weird looks when I would give weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315327 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:52:36 +0000 autumnlove 315327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315318 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:46:33 +0000 Crisark 315318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315309 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:44:03 +0000 Smurfette 315309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always says weeks just easier to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315282 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:37:00 +0000 chopsuey 315282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weeks.

Anyone else, I say months, which people who aren't versed in the pregnant world say is way easier to grasp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315260 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:30:40 +0000 pinkcupcake 315260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Weeks </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315257 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:29:35 +0000 Mrs. Pen 315257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: yeah I often had people ask me, "um, how many months is that?" so then I had to think... I guess when you're pregnant you don't always think that other people don't know how many weeks correspond with the months lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315255 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:28:13 +0000 oliviaoblivia 315255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally I subtract how many months between now and my due date. I'm due in early january so I say 6 months even though by weeks I'm 6.5 months. If I'm talking to another prego or a recent mom I use weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315241 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:21:31 +0000 immabeetoo 315241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say I'm 32 weeks but that I have about 2 months left. The math makes my head hurt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315232 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:18:56 +0000 T.H.O.U. 315232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think next time I may go by months and not share my specific due date! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315224 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:17:24 +0000 LAGS 315224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went by weeks for myself, but when talking to others who weren't recently up on the whole pregnancy thing, I'd go by months for simplicity's sake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315186 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:05:33 +0000 Mrs. Pen 315186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: yeah it's so confusing to people that technically you are 10 months at 40 weeks... not 9.. and really pregnancy is 38 weeks long (if you go to 40) because you're not pregnant the first two weeks. It's all really confusing unless you go through it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315180 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:04:30 +0000 Rock n Roll 315180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went by weeks when pregnant. But men never seem to get weeks, so I always translated into months with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315178 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:03:25 +0000 hellobeeboston 315178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i go by weeks. especially now at the end, being 36 weeks I'm 9 months - and people get confused when you say that, like, Oh! you're done then? nope - 4 more weeks people! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-by-weeks-vs-months#post-315169 Fri, 28 Sep 2012 10:01:39 +0000 Mrs. Pen 315169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant I always went by weeks. However I had some friends who went by months and it always threw me off. I had to mentally calculate how many weeks it was.</p> <p>Did you go by weeks or months? </p>
