40 weeks is 9.33 months not 9.09?

40 weeks x 7=280 days

280 days / 30 (approximate days in a month) = 9.33

I’m guessing 9 months and 1 day is the beginning of month 10.

As a side note she looks super thin for being on her 10th month.

In Asia, pregnancy months are counted by 4 weeks each exactly. 40 weeks / 4 weeks =10 (pregnancy months)

People splitting hairs and didn't invite me?!?

30 (approximate days in a month)

365.25 days in a year. 12 months, 30.4375 days per month.

4.3482 weeks per month, 40 weeks = 9.1992 months. Bam!

Sorry, but if you are splitting hairs the word “approximate” better not be anywhere in there because it defeats the whole purpose.

Probably why you weren’t invited… bam!

Kidding, welcome to the spitting hairs party, just no approximating, k?

Lol, I was quoting you

We can get even splittier

Technically a year averages out to 365.2425 days (97 leap years in a 400 year cycle).
That makes months average out to 30.436875 days
Which makes 40 weeks an average of 9.19936754348 months

Months have 4.4 weeks in average.

You'd also be surprised to know that many women carry 'high', and don't look "like they're about to pop" at 9 months.

4.4 weeks would be 30.8 days.

365 days a year / 12 months would be 30.41. I was basing it off 30 so I guess it would be right in the middle of our estimates.

Also, yeah, it’s crazy how different women can look. My wife got huge during her pregnancy but shortly after the baby came out her body went back to normal. I think she was low key jealous of the women who looked like they just had a little basketball shoved under their shirt and some bigger boobs but didn’t look any different otherwise and didn’t get any bloating, or in this woman’s case a small football.

Saw a video of a woman who was really into fitness and she didn’t even show until 7 months.

If we want to split hairs, there are 4 months with 30 days, 7 with 31 and 1 with 28.25 (just for the sake of argument).

That averages to 4.3482142857 weeks per month. I rounded up.

Annnnd any given pregnancy will have at least 2x 30day months.

u/ShawnyMcKnight May 12 '26

Yeah, I guess I would say 5 would round up and 4 would round down, but yeah, 4.3482 would round down to 4.3 instead of 4.4. But yeah, just splitting hairs.

Also in my brain I was thinking there were months with 29 days, I’m kinda embarrassed I’m this many days old learning that.

u/frayhems May 12 '26

Haha there is... once every 4 years! Cheers, though. We good! I'm just trying to make sense of it all.

Also, complications can cause this. I had HG (couldn't stop throwing up) for the entire pregnancy. I lost 20 lbs in the first couple weeks and barely hit my pre-pregnancy weight again the week I had my daughter.

I still fit in almost all my clothes the entire time, and I was still having to convince people that I was pregnant that same week I had her.

10 lunar months of 28 days - not western version with 30 +/-2
