The answer is simple, even if not actually correct. Pregnancies are considered full term at 40 weeks, and many women count four weeks as a month while they are pregnant, making the result a ten month pregnancy. On average there are actually 4.33 weeks in a month, however that a third of a week tends to get lost in the pregnancy shuffle for much of us. Many women also find it easier, when asked how pregnant they are, to answer in weeks instead of months, because pregnancy is generally a count down.
If you do know the date of your last period, try the following calculation, called Naegeleâs Rule. Babies have a gestational period of about 280 days, so count back 3 months from the first day of your last period and add 7 more days. Your approximate due date is that day within the next year.Take note of the word âapproximate:â Your baby will grow and mature on his own schedule. The only thing youâll know for sure is that you should give birth within two weeks before or after that day.emember: Your due date is an estimate of when you will give birth, not a guarantee. If you are âover due,â just count it as more time to establish a bond with your baby, to prepare mentally for motherhood, to discuss your partnerâs role during the birth and to ready your home for your babyâs arrival.
