**Pregnancy context:** Pregnancy is commonly tracked in weeks (typically 40 weeks), which equals about 9 months and 1 week. Medical professionals prefer weeks because months vary in length, making weeks a more precise way to track development milestones.

**Project planning tip:** When converting project timelines from weeks to months, keep in mind that 4 weeks is slightly less than 1 calendar month. A "3-month project" is about 13 weeks, not 12.
