re: Pregnancy: 9 months or 10?

Quoting Malaki's Mommy♥:“ I don't understand how people say 10 months, when you give birth at the end of your 9th month. You do not complete a whole extra month to make it 10!”

yea, but listen...when i had my first son they said I was over due and they had to induce me at 42 weeks.....thats ten months right?

Quoting Her Name Should Be Beauty:“ Long story short, I want to deliver ON the 1st of October...no waiting no wondering, just labor, feel me?”

i asked if i could be induced and was told yes. hospital rules i have to be at least 39 weeks. so thats what i'm doing ifi don't go early of course. can't hurt to ask. some docs will some won't.

Quoting Her Name Should Be Beauty:“ yea, but listen...when i had my first son they said I was over due and they had to induce me at 42 weeks.....thats ten months right?”

No you went 9 1/2 months. 44 weeks in 10 months. 40 weeks is the end of the 9th month but you have to complete the entire next 4 weeks before you hit 10 months.

i had my son when i was 41 weeks, and i was about 5 days short of when he was concieved, so i KNOW i wasn't even exactly nine months pregnant yet. ok...when your child is 5 months old lets say, and they are actually starting their 6th of life, do you tell people he's 6 months old? no. they have just STARTED their sixth month, but are still 5 months old until the month is completed. make sense?

yea, if you can decide for yourself than do it, alot of doctors are assholes and need to control every aspect of your pregnancy, I dont want to be induced cuz the first time it was more painful than just having a baby naturally, then I want my daughters b-day to be as close to mine as possible, so hopefully i dont go into labor too early.....I just cant imagine passing the 40 week marker and still waddling around like,"yep, STILL pregnant!" you know?

I'm sorry but not making sense since the end of the ninth month is supposed to be 40 weeks,, if i was 42 weeks that would have been 10 months and a week? We need a doctor up in here, lol!

lol, you funny....I see you are due before me.....well I can understand, I'm 33 weeks but everyday I feel like the baby is TAKING OVER!!! what do you mean you are sick? you still gettin morning sickness?

40 weeks would be a completed 9 months. which means you have completed 9 months of pregnancy. if you go over that, then you would be say...9 1/2 months, not 10 since you haven't completed the month yet. i'm really not trying to be rude. just explaining. lol.

Ok! there we go....I'm sorry but I've been THE QUEEN OF BITCHY_NESS this whole pregnancy, and I guess i shouldnt be so snippy to someone just trying to help me. My apoligies. And actually what you just said made alot of sense....boy am I gonna get on MY dr.s nerves next week! lol

Sorry I don't know how to put it any plainer if you still don't understand. When your child is 6 months old and 1 day, do you tell people your child is 7 months old? When you complete 9 months of pregnancy(40 weeks) and 1 day, your not 10 months pregnant. Your 9 months and 1 day. If by some chance you went to 44 weeks, you would be 10 months pregnant, not 11 months.

no problem. i'm glad what i said made sense! lol.  .
