    The weeks and days do not break down exactly because of how pregnancies are often measured from the last period, when you aren't actually pregnant. At 6 weeks 3 days you are in your second month... even though we usually think of 8 weeks being equal to 2 months. :) This is why pregnancies are best measured in weeks instead of months. Here is a guide:

    1-4 weeks = month 1
    5-8 weeks = month 2
    9-13 weeks = month 3
    14-17 weeks = month 4
    18-21 weeks = month 5
    22-26 weeks = month 6
    27-30 weeks = month 7
    31-35 weeks = month 8
    36-40 weeks = month 9
