For instance I am due on the 18th July therefore on the 18th of each month I am another month gone so the 18th April I was 6 months but 27 weeks.
Hope this makes sense. Not sure how the docs work it out but this is what I go by.

It is confusing though!! I think we're told 9 months to lul us into a false sense of security-then we realise it's longer!! How unfair!!!!
So, for example, I am due on 16th July, so last wednesday (the 16th April) I was bang on 27 weeks but exactly 6 months as well (because 40 weeks is 9 months when you include the extra days in the months)! So now I just say I am 6 months - 3 months to go.... When I get to May 1st, I'll class that as 6 and a half months, the 16th May will be 7 months and so on.....
Very confusing but dates make it easier.
Like in November, when it gets to the 25th we say 'oooh, a month till Xmas'....
Hope that helps!

It_must_be_love - I would say you're about 6 months too! Although it always feels like ur further along! I just tell people that I am 9 months preg now as there's so little time left. xxx
They just don't seem to add up to me...
I think i'll do what MrsE suggested - say 'oh i have such and such long left' in weeks according to my due date! x
For example.
I am due on the 18th so on the 18th of each month I am another month further therefore at the moment I am 6 months but 27+3 weeks.
Hope this helps
