If you are 29 weeks pregnant, you are approximately 6 months and 16 days. The conversion isn't always perfectly clean because pregnancy lasts 40 weeks but the calendar uses 12 months — the standard medical convention is 4.345 weeks per month. Here's everything you need to know about week 29.

Quick answer

6 months and 16 days

29 weeks pregnant. You are in the third trimester (weeks 27–40).

How weeks-to-months conversion works

Pregnancy is counted in weeks, not months, because weeks are more precise. To convert: divide the week count by ~4.345 (the average weeks per month over a 9-month, 40-week pregnancy). For week 29: 29 ÷ 4.345 ≈ 6 months and 16 extra days.

Trimester at week 29

Week 29 falls in the Third trimester (weeks 27–40). The third trimester is when baby gains weight rapidly, prenatal visits become weekly, and labour preparation begins.
