Pregnancy Myth: Pregnancy Lasts for 9 Months

Even those of us who know nothing about pregnancy or women’s issues know this to be true:

Pregnancy lasts for 9 months.

Well most pregnancies….right?

Not true!

Pregnancy does not follow our modern western calendar. Most gestations actually take 38 weeks to complete plus 2 weeks from the first day of your last period.

Of course each pregnancy and baby is unique, but the majority continues for 40 weeks or 240 days (from the first day of your last menstrual cycle) which is exactly 10 lunar months.

So, the journey happens over 10 moons.

Another one of the little reminders from nature that women, womanhood and our fertility are intimately connected to something much bigger…

This beautiful goddess of the night sky is telling us that we are part of a much greater story. In doing so she helps us to detach from (what can become) an obsession with dates, ovulation, menstruation and trust more that we are safe in the loving hands of the universe.

When you can feel this, your point of attraction changes so that you begin to see even more evidence that you do indeed belong to something much more magical.

You are never alone on this journey. 

You can enhance your fertility and pregnancy success by connecting with the moon and her wisdom now.

In joy,
