Hello

I am wondering if someone can help me in understanding pregnancy duration for previous pregnancies. I am using Kenya 2022 dataset. There is a variable b20 which is duration in months for all pregnancies for each woman. Then there is b21, but I cannot understand what unit this is in - can anyone help? or is there a way to determine the length in weeks for example?

Thank you,
