Hey all!

just have a few questions to ask!
Okay.. Well I know i;m 15 weeks but how many months does that make me? Like.. If I was 18 weeks.. How many months would I be? I dont know how to determine how many months I am, I only know the weeks :s how did/do u all know how many months u are/were?
And for question #2 (this may sound stupid but ive actually been wondering it!) when u get to be about 8 months.. Can u still shave ur legs? Lol! Sounds dumb but I was just curious! Lol! Thanx all!

Hey hun... 4 weeks equal 1 month... So you are 3 months and 3 weeks pregnant. In one more week u will be 4 months* get it? Its real easy dont worry* and I dont know about the 8 month thing cuz I havent hit there yet. .Im only 16 weeks (4 months) Wink

and 1 day* and at 18 weeks u will be 4 months and 2 weeks pregnant ( 4 1/2 months)

Lol hello!

Well on the weeks vs. Months, it depends on how many weeks are in the month. So your 15 weeks so (4 weeks to a month) its more or less 3 months and 3 weeks. Almost 4 months. If you were 18 weeks thats about 4 months and 2 weeks.

About the shaving. You could shave, but you might struggle! Lol with the belly in the way and all! It might be hard, but it can be done!

There are accually 10 months (luna) to pregnancy, this is because the doctor will calculate your due date from the first day of your last normal period, then he will add 40 weeks. This means if your last period begain on the 1st january u wouldnt be due till the end of september-beginning of october...... You count how manny months u r by going 1st jan to 1st feb 1 month, not by how manny weeks you are, cause sometimes there are 5 weeks to a month....
