How many months is 20 weeks?

“I'm 20 weeks pregnant and my OB said I'm halfway through my pregnancy. How many months is 20 weeks?”

20 weeks is about 5 months of pregnancy, and you are still in the second trimester. During prenatal care, providers usually track pregnancy by weeks instead of months.

Around 20 weeks of pregnancy is usually the best time to have the anatomy scan. At this stage, the baby’s organs are already formed and can be seen more clearly on ultrasound.

If you have any concerns about your baby’s health, talk to your OB-GYN or certified nurse-midwife. It is important to keep up with prenatal care as recommended to help prevent problems during pregnancy.
