I'm 29 weeks pregnant. How many months along is that?


Everyone keeps telling me that it's 6 months, but I'm in my third trimester. Shouldn't it be 7 months?

I say 7 months. You have 11 weeks to go, that's less than 3 months. So you are 7 months one week.

I also say 7 Months. Because you are. The people that are telling you 6 months don't realize that pregnancy is actually 10 months. If that doesn't work just tell them in weeks...that confuses everybody!

7 months = 27-30 weeks. 8 months = 31-35 weeks. 9 months = 36-40 weeks. This is according to a pregnancy book I have. Hope it helps.

You are in your 7th month. Go to to see a break-down chart and explainations for which week, month, and trimester of pregnancy and how they are divided. I cut the chart out and put in in my "What to Expect..." book so I know exactly which month I'm in at each week. Check it out!

It really depends on who you talk to as you can see by the posts. You are 6 1/2 calander months pregnant and 7 1/4 lunar months. I am 29 weeks and I go by lunar months because honestly anywhere you look up info on pregnancy it will say you can give birth anytime between 36 and 40 weeks. I tell people I am in my 7th month, september will be my 8th and october my 9th and my due date is november 13th.

I say your 7months seeing that you really stay preg. 10 months. Yes some months have weeks but my Doctor says its every 4th week counts a month. Im 28weeks with a due date of November 15 and my Doc. says Im starting my 7th month.

If you look in "What to Expect When You're Expecting" at the beginning it tells what months are by weeks in the table of contents. It's 7 months.

I am also 29 wks and according to my doctors calculations as well as my own and others too, I am in my 7th month. Sept 25th I will be 8 mos along. I agree with all of those who state that pregnancy is really 10 mos.

Okay. You are six and a half months pregnant (out of nine months). Which puts you in your seventh month. Get it? When a baby is six months old, he is in his first year. But he's not a year old yet. Pregnancy is approximately nine CALENDAR months. However, it is exactly ten LUNAR months. So if you go on a ten month calendar, you're over seven months pregnant, but most people still think of months in terms of a nine calendar month gestation. Imagine the confusion and astonishment, a little while from now, if someone asked you how many months along you were and you answered, "nine and three quarters..." You entered your third trimester (your final three calendar months of pregnancy) at about 27 weeks. So at that point you were "officially" six months pregnant. So to avoid confusion, it would be easiest to say that you're six and a half months pregnant, or halfway through your seventh month. HTH.
