Wow, looking at these answers here they are outrageous. I am a medical assistant. I am 30 weeks pregnant with my 12th pregnancy I have had 7 miscarriages 1 being ectopic.
A normal gestation for a pregnancy is between 37 and 40 weeks they consider full term. Some pregnancies will go over 40 weeks. If the baby is born before 37 weeks it is considered premature but after 37 weeks it is considered full term. The longer the baby stays inside the better it is for the baby though. There have been babies born at 37 weeks that still needed more time in the womb that have to stay in the Nicfor a few days.
Anyways, 24 weeks is considered to be about 6 months along. They consider 4 1/2 weeks to be 1 month. Just because there are usually 4 1/2 weeks in a month. They go by the date of your first period to find out when you are due.
But there is no way some one is pregnant for 48 weeks. Nor is there 48 weeks in a year there is 56 weeks in a year in 12 months. So I hope this helped a little. Good luck and congrats.
