Pregnancy is counted in weeks, which is 40 weeks in total. That is roughly 9 months and 7 days. Don't worry about the months, just follow your weekly trackers as that's how the doctors monitor baby's growth.
Beta, traditionally we say 'nau mahine' (9 months), but actually it is 40 weeks. Sometimes the baby comes a bit early or late, which is perfectly normal. Just eat well, take your milk, and let the doctor decide the final date.
I am in my 37th week now and I am so done! It really feels like 10 months already. How did you guys survive the last few weeks without losing your mind?
It is 40 weeks, which is 9 calendar months. Some people get confused because 40 weeks is 10 lunar months (of 28 days each). Just keep drinking lots of water and doing your daily light walks as you count down the weeks.
I felt like pregnancy was a never-ending journey, especially when I crossed my 39th week. Doctors calculate it as 40 weeks from your last period. So it is actually 9 calendar months, but in weeks it feels like 10 months of waiting!
Haha, honestly it feels like 10 years! But technically it is 40 weeks, which is about 9 months and a week. So yes, it is slightly more than 9 months, which explains why the last month feels never-ending!
