Subject: Pregnancy: 40 and 4 weeks??

Would it be transcribed as 40 and 4 weeks (as dictated), or changed to 40 and 4/7ths weeks?  As dictated, it looks odd to me.  TIA.

The patient is not 25 years old but she dictates these numbers and I am unsure how to type it for it to make sense.  It sounds like she is saying, "patient is 25 and 5/7 weeks gestational age.  Do they dictate gestational age by the 7ths for days of the week?  Would you type it 25-5/7 week gestational age?
