Third Trimester?
Posted: 02-14-07 17:08pm

Wow, I just looked it up on my calander and im in my third trimester tomarrow, this is going by fast, im so glad, lol

question: ill be 27 weeks on tuesday, what month does that make me? Ive been trying to figure it out logically and mathmatically but I cant, its either 6 or 7 I know that much, is it the next month when you are fully a month or are you that month for the next month? Does any of that make sence, cause I think I just confused myself more lol

ps. I hate valentines day, too many flowers everywhere, they are killer on the allergies

When's your due date?

Just count back from your due date (which would be 9 months pregnant).

For example, if you're due may 10th...

May 10th = 9 months
april 10th = 8 months
march 10th = 7 months
february 10th = 6 months

so february 25th would be 6 1/2 months, and so on.

Make sense?

that's my number 1 pet peeve because if you do it that way you end up going to 10 months. There aren't 4 exact weeks in a month (except feb) so it doesn't work out right counting that way.

But lots of people do it that way. I just get confused, like when you're 38 weeks along and someone asks how many months you are would you say 9 and a half? Then people would assume you're overdue.
