Well, almost... A month is really 4 1/2 weeks, so 18 weeks is closer to 4 months. You can kinda calculate months using your due date, too. Yours is January 30th, so you'll be 4 months on August 30th.

I think it's all an ancient Chinese secret and nobody really knows.  I'm 23/24 weeks and the WTE book says I'm in my 6th month.  But honestly, it's so confusing I don't use months.  Thank GOD I'm passed the halfway point!  I can just tell people I have 13 or so weeks left (since it's twins :-))

It's easiest to go by weeks. You actually have to go through what month your in to be considered that month. Weird, I know. Your pregnant for 10 months not 9, since you have to go clear through the 9th month. You actually start your 2nd month at 5 weeks, but your not considered 2 months until you get to the end at 8 weeks. Goes as follows:
Weeks 1-4: Month 1
Weeks 5-8: Month 2
Weeks 9-12: Month 3
Weeks 13-16: Month 4
Weeks 17-20: Month 5
Weeks 21-24: Month 6
Weeks 25-28: Month 7
Weeks 29-32: Month 8
Weeks 33-36: Month 9
Weeks 37-40: Month 10
So you will be 4 months. Hard to believe it takes almost a year for this little people to finish baking! Hope this helps a little.

Actually you are still 15 1/2 weeks and have completed 3.5 months. You are pregnant for 40 weeks so 10 months. 4.445 weeks equals a month on the 10 month scale. Here is the link to a month/week calculator.

I am 26w3d and have "completed" 5.9 months. Almost 7 months.

Hope the link helps. Shari
