At 37 weeks and 7 days, how many months is that?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How many months is 37 weeks and 7 days approximately?

Doctor's answer:

To calculate the estimated due date, simply add 9 months and 1 week (280 days) to the first day of your last menstrual period. Actual delivery may occur within 2 weeks before or after the estimated due date. For women with a 3-week menstrual cycle, the gestation period should be 280 days - 1 week = 39 weeks; for those with a 4-week cycle, it should be 280 days = 40 weeks; and for those with a 5-week cycle, it should be 280 days + 1 week = 41 weeks. If your menstrual cycle is irregular or you cannot remember the date of your last menstrual period, the gestation period should be estimated based on gynecological examinations during early pregnancy.
