Q1: Why use 4.345 weeks per month instead of 4?
A: We use 4.345 because it accounts for the varying lengths of months (28-31 days) throughout the year, providing a more accurate average conversion.
Q2: How many months is 40 weeks of pregnancy?
A: 40 weeks equals approximately 9.2 months (40 ÷ 4.345 = 9.2), which is why pregnancy is often referred to as 9 months.
Q3: Is pregnancy exactly 9 months?
A: While commonly called 9 months, full-term pregnancy is actually about 9.2 months or 40 weeks from the first day of the last menstrual period.
Q4: How do I count pregnancy weeks accurately?
A: Pregnancy is typically counted from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP), not from conception. Your healthcare provider can help determine exact dating.
Q5: Can I use this calculator for any week count?
A: Yes, this calculator works for any number of weeks, but it's specifically designed for pregnancy week conversions between 1-42 weeks.
