Why "months" is approximate
Pregnancies are dated in weeks, counted from the first day of the last menstrual period. Months are a user-facing summary. There is no single clinical definition of a pregnancy month. DueDateLab uses a transparent four-week convention because it produces clean conversions: 1 month = 4 weeks = 28 days. The calendar-month comparison column uses an average calendar month of 30.4375 days (365.25 ÷ 12), so the same week comes out a little smaller in calendar months. Both numbers are correct; they describe the same span using different month definitions.
