Baby age???

Do you count your babies' age by weeks (8 weeks = 2 months) or by months on the day they were born (21st July to 21st August)??

Months as there isn't 4 weeks in every month.

8 weeks doesn't equal 2 months. Months and weeks are different things and each month has a different number of days.

So if you're doing weeks and baby was born on a Tuesday, they're a week older every Tuesday.

If you're doing months (more advisable after 2-4 months I'd say) then if they were born on the 21st they're a month older every time it's the 21st.

I only counted by weeks up to 10-12 weeks, then I counted by months based on birth day

I count months but HV and Midwife counts weeks. X

Months as there's not always 4 weeks in a month ... My little boy was just over 17 weeks when he turned 4 months and will be almost 22 weeks when he's 5 months!

I did weeks until she hit 3 months (13 weeks 2 days) but with medical professionals they do weeks, she was also 4 weeks early so it’s more complicated doing months 😂

I counted by weeks up until 12ish weeks and then I lost track. Besides 12 weeks doesn’t really equal 3 months so it’s easier to just do months

Yes, both!

Months otherwise your baby wouldn’t be 1 (12 months) on the 21st🙃🙃🙃

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
