The confusing numbers game

This week I decided that the numbers are very confusing in pregnancy. They say "you're really pregnant for 10 months" - but you aren't. Not really. Maybe 42 since they advance you by two weeks in order to calculate how far along you are. But here is the problem: as I approach the "halfway point" of 20 weeks, which is 5 months for all intents and purposes, what do I tell people? I can't say 5 months, when I have 5 left. Should I say 4 and a half and hope I don't confuse them? What the heck happened to this system?

    I always tell people how far I am in weeks and let them do the math. I said 8 months today and it seems too weird because we still have 7 weeks left!
