     Topic: How many weeks pregnant will I be?     Posted: 30 May 2011 at 6:23pm | 
 
 
  
   
   
   Anyone know an easy calculator site that will tell you how many weeks pregnant you'll be on a certain date? I need to know if I'll be able to fly in October, and can't be arsed counting weeks until then (and I always get a different answer each time I try   )

   I have that in an excel spreadsheet.
 
Start with today and how many weeks you are now, fill down "date + 7" in one column and just increase weeks by 1 in the other column. Then you can look up any date/week and you have your answer

   it also depends on where you are flying to and how long you will be on the plane?  the rule of flying after 36 weeks only applies to flights over four hours and if you have a straight forward pregnancy and can get a medical certificate from your midwife then you can fly for longer.

   Hah! Great idea with the spreadsheet, thanks      
Oh, and it's all the way to America, notenufchaos, so I don't want to be too far along, it's not like it's essential or anything but I would have kind of liked to go.

   Hopes -  I couldn't get travel insurance after 30 weeks for international travel, and some will not insure after 28 weeks.

   I used this all the time with Jae and D to work out how far along I'd be on any given week
 
week-by-week

   Just remember that you need to be able to be comfortable too, I haven't been able to sit in one position for longer than an hour since about 25 weeks! 15min in the car has me wanting to scream! I think I am one of the unlucky ones though

   Yea, I remember the uncomfortableness. With Jacob, I wasn't too bad till about 32 weeks - I've worked out I should be between 26 - 28 weeks at the time I'm travelling, so should be able to fly and insurable if I want to. Now I just have to decide if it's worth it!
