How many months are 40 weeks?

40 weeks is 10 months. is wrong Pregnancy is 9 months. Every month but february has about 4 and a half weeks in it (not 4 weeks). 4 weeks is 28 days, and usually months have 30 or 31 days. Also, you are really only pregnant for 38 weeks. The baby's gestational age is calculated from the first day of the mother's last period, which is about 2 weeks BEFORE conception (I know, it's weird). So you are pregnant almost exactly 9 months. 40 weeks = 9 months ¦ 4.445 weeks = 1 month

How many days are you pregnant for?

You are pregnant for approximately 280 days. That is if you go the full 40 weeks (9 months) and if you count from your last period. Most women don't have there baby on their due date (in fact most first-time moms deliver at 41 weeks if not induced) Obviously you aren't pregnant for the first 14 days or so (until ovulation) and most women don't know they are pregnant for another 14 days after that. So really it's less time but 280 days/40 weeks/ 9 months is how long you are pregnant.

How many months are you if I'm 33 weeks pregnant?

Four weeks in a month. Thirty-two divided by four is eight. If you are 32 weeks pregnant, you are 8 months along. Another way to look at it is the human gestation is 40 weeks. Forty minus 32 is 8 (two months--40 calendar weeks is a day or so less 10 calendar months, a calendar month is an average 30 days). You're in the home stretch.
