Halle Berry e-mailed Access Hollywood on Tuesday to announce she’s officially three-months pregnant. Check out Us Magazine’s dynamite reporting of the joyous news:
After years of rumors, Halle Berry is pregnant. She and boyfriend Gabriel Aubry are expecting a baby in 2008. The 41-year old actress emailed Access Hollywood anchor Nancy O’Dell today and told her, “Yes, I am three months pregnant. Gabriel and I are beyond excited and I’ve waited a long time for this moment in my life. Now the next seven months will be the longest of my life!”
After years of rumors, huh? That’s some cracker-jack writing. Only Us Magazine could claim that Halle Berry has looked pregnant for years. Talk about cold-blooded. You’d think they’d abandon their theory after roughly nine months or so when, I don’t know, a child doesn’t pop out of her Oscar-winning vagina. Of course, one can’t expect Us Magazine to have any knowledge of the human birthing process. I once applied to be a writer there and during my interview all I had to do was finger paint a giraffe. When I wrote my name at the top, they told me I was over-qualified and should take my “words smarts” elsewhere.
A normal pregnancy lasts 280 days from your LMP (last menstrual period) which is about 266 days from conception to birth. The first two weeks of your pregnancy includes the time of your period, ovulation and fertilization. Conception occurs approximately 14 – 16 days after the first day of your last period. The date of conception is not always known. The date of LMP is known by most women so doctors use this date as a starting point for pregnancy, although the woman doesn’t actually become pregnant for nearly two full weeks after the beginning of her last period.
The average pregnancy lasts 266 days, or 38 weeks, or 9-1/2 months. But, according to the calendar used by medical professionals, you’ll be pregnant for 40 weeks, or 280 days. Why the difference?
Physicians and midwives start the pregnancy clock on the first day of a woman’s last menstrual period (LMP).
Actually, this 40-week timetable isn’t conspiracy to confuse you, but how professionals take all of the natural variations in women’s cycles into account. As you’ve probably noticed, even the most predictable of cycles can change from time to time, based on diet, stress, and a ton of other factors.
“Gestational age” is what your baby’s age is called when your pregnancy is dated using a 40-week calendar. But your baby-to-be will actually be about two weeks younger than that. “Fetal age” is what his or her actual age is called. A woman isn’t actually pregnant for the full 40 weeks……goodness, that would be 10 MONTHS!
She has shown good sense in not going for a black father.
ok….9 and a half months
#46 – if you can’t tell that I was being sarcastic… (shakes head)
I guess I shouldn’t blame you. For all you know Lohan or Paris could be visiting these forums.
hey jrzmommy,
don’t you have some really clever comment about her being black? you usually are good for an unfunny racist remark. stop impersonating me you pathetic hag.
stop impersonating me you pathetic hag or else I’ll………..I’ll………fall to pieces.
Madonna and Angelina are going to fight for adoptive custody of that baby’s mommy!
hey, could someone please call me or write to me or something. i’m really lonely. i could tell you some jokes.
@58- Strike “baby’s mommy” from the record and insert (not that!) mommy’s baby instead. Thank you.
Okay, for those of you who STILL do not understand, pregnancy is calculated in lunar months (four weeks each) which works out to 10 months! Divide 4 by 40 and you’ll see what I am talking about. That IS how pregnancy is calculated and Halle is correct in saying that she has 7 months to go. Obviously, some of you have never been pregnant which is a good thing since you are obviously a bunch of fucktards!
I think it’s great that she’s pregnant. I wish her the best. She’s gorgeous and looks not a day over 30. Her boyfriend is hot too. That’s likely going to be one beautiful baby!
#39 Good one, but what if I don’t stop for heroin, since I already got the rest of Owen’s stash? So what’s the answer?????
I’m waiting…..
#49 & #61
Why don’t you type this in Google: “how many days in one lunar month”. You’ll get “one lunar month = 29.53059 days”. Why, you ask? Because it takes that amount of time for the moon to revolve around the earth. So, based on this, 10 lunar months = 10 * 29.53059 days = 295.3059 days = 295.3059 / 7 weeks = approximately 42.19 weeks, which is NOT 40 weeks.
I still don’t get why there are people who still think there are 4 weeks in a month. Just like the simple math posted by #27:
There are 52 weeks in a year, and 12 months in a year. So there are 52/12 weeks in a month = 4.3333 weeks in a month, or 12/52 month in a week = .23 month in a week. So 40 weeks = .23 * 40 months = 9.23 months.
Are you still with me #49 & #61?
In case the above explanation is still not obvious to you, 29.53059 days is not 28 days (4 * 7 days) or 4 weeks, which what you both could somehow be so confidently think is the number of weeks in a lunar month.
“word smarts” ayup, that’d be from the book learnin’ now, righty?
God I hate math, you peoples are giving me a dang headache….9 months, 10 months; who gives a crap? Babies pop out earlier and later all the time anyways, so what’s the diff?
Exactly #66. Who the fuck cares! Why is there always someone who has to nitpick about the details. Some of you people must be incredibly annoying to live with.
YES, they use 40 weeks, You can call it the lunar calendar, you can call it the 40-week calendar, hell you can call it Jimmy and smack it’s ass…… but a woman is NOT ACTUALLY PREGNANT the entire 40 weeks because the FIRST week of the 40 she HAS HER PERIOD. YOU’RE NOT PREGNANT WHEN YOU’RE ON THE RAG….do you get that #61?
Between her period and conception is about another 1 -2 weeks—that’s approximately the first 2-3 weeks of the 40 THAT SHE IS NOT PREGNANT! THEN–about the 2nd or 3rd week into this 40 weeks, she ovulates and get’s laid and conceives …..*BINGO* then—and ONLY THEN–is she technically and officially pregnant. THAT’S 37 WEEKS!!! NOT 40 WEEKS AND NOT 10 MONTHS.
Do you fucking get it…..fucktard?
Who fucking cares? Another accessory to parade to the world and in a year, it’ll be another toddler to neglect in this world.

Were you one of the people mistakenly picked to work for NASA who did not nitpick about metric vs inches and caused the space shuttle to explode? I don’t know about you, but I’d rather be annoyed than dead.
And just FYI, since you didn’t care to read enough details before bitching, jrzmommy initially just made some (legitimate) comment that apparently math isn’t one of Halle Berry’s strengths. But somehow some dumb shit people who could not do elementary school math nitpicked her math for that as if they were a math professor or an ob-gyn. So some others nitpicked on those imbecile nitpickers. But since you nitpicked on the smart nitpickers, guess where you belong?
Boy, you must be incredibly annoying, frustrating, boring, and possibly fatal to live with.
I’m betting Gabriel is already porking someone else; Ms. Berry has a knack for dreaming of everlasting love with horndogs.
@70 What I should have said is why do we have to nitpick about something that doesn’t really matter. I don’t care if Halle Berry is off on her math concerning when she gives birth. I’m sure her baby will be fine. When it comes to small details where a slight difference could mean life or death, of course that’s important, but comparing Halle Berry’s gestational period to rocket science is a bit dramatic. I wasn’t picking on Jrzmommy in particular. I happen to like her, she’s funny as hell. I was picking on everyone who kept that particular topic going , so please calm down. Everything is going to be ok.
you people need to shut up just say your happy for her even though she is 42 now but hello she has been in two marriagesand divorced!!! Just drop it. as long as she is happy its fine. i mean what are you going to do. they live thier own lives.
