Nine Month Pregnant

Nine Month starts at 33 weeks and ends at 36 weeks. 

Some women take the whole month (up to 36 weeks) and then deliver. 

Some delivery takes 40 weeks, they are called "overdue". That is why actually Pregnancy is considered of 40 weeks. 

Not all women deliver exactly on the due dates rather most of women deliver before due or after due.

The signs of labour are same (even if you are overdue).
