Excuse Me, What? The Guide to Pregnancy in Weeks and Months

I'm How Far Along?!

Hello Ladies and Gents,

 
 When James leaves for work at 5:45 am every morning, I always wake up and can't fall back asleep so I scroll through some birth boards I follow online and came across some Pregnancy Timelines that just absolutely confused the heck out of me. Apparently I am considered 6 months pregnant at 22 weeks. A normal person would consider 22 weeks, 5 and 1/2 months pregnant, but right when you get pregnant you are already considered 2 weeks pregnant. Weird, right? And not to mention that in a normal timeline you are pregnant for 40 weeks which translates to 10 months, but in "Prego World", it's still only considered 9 months. SO CONFUSING!
  If you're like me, relatively normal, then you count months in groups of four weeks, right? Now, I know I'm no left brained mathematician, but this just struck me as ridiculous. You can't confuse and already bad-at-math...er ON TOP of having pregnancy brain because things just get confusing more so than they already are.

  Anyways, I found some timelines to help with the confusion and if someone asks me on the street how far along I am, I am going to ask them if they go by pregnancy rules or normal people rules because I just want to be clear. lol

 So without further ado, here are the "Weird World of Pregnancy's Timeline Rules".

This is the most informative and accurate in my opinion.

I like having pictures of the growing belly, but I'm nowhere near as big as she is at 6 months.



 Did any of you know that this is how things were in the weird world of pregnancy? I feel like they should teach some of this in school or something so when the time comes for you to have your bundle of joy, you know what the heck is happening and aren't just aimlessly roaming around claiming to be a certain month, when in fact you are not. So I guess when people ask, I'm 6 months pregnant and looking dang good if I do say so myself. :)
 I hope this helped you understand what's happening a little more and as I come across more weird information, I'll share it with you because pregnancy is turning out to be stranger than I thought it would be and there are so many confusing aspects to it that I have never even thought of before.  I hope we as a community can learn and grow together because let's face it, we could all use a little support, right?
 Well, have a fantastic day ladies and gentlemen. I am about to go DO WERK at the gym here in 45 minutes and enjoy the rest of this BEAUTIFUL weather we are having at the park with my little red-headed bundle of fun. :) See you next time. :)))
