2009 Pregnancy/baby thread

Kari,

The way I understood from my dr. is that at 26 weeks the gestational age (the baby's age), is 6 months (the beginning of the 6th month).
Instead if you calculate from the day of your missed period, you can say you are 6 1/2 months pregnant.

I was very confused at first but kind of understand now.

I have no idea why they say it's 9 months of pregnancy when really it's more like 10.

I just found this tool:

I guess that means that I am 5.9 months pregnant????

The month thing always confused me, too. I always just used the weeks when someone asked.
