A full-term pregnancy is 280 days, which is 40 weeks in duration; however, not every woman gives birth at the 40th week.

A full-term pregnancy is 280 days, which is 40 weeks in duration. With four weeks a month, a 40-week duration could be calculated as 10 months where each month has 28 days; however, days in months vary, which range from 28 to 31 days long.

Therefore, pregnancy typically carries on for nine and a half months.

Not everyone delivers at the 40th week, and women may give birth at about 38 to 42 weeks.
In the case of a single baby, the mother may deliver at 39 to 40 weeks, and in the case of twins, the delivery generally occurs at about 38 weeks.

Generally, it is said that a pregnancy lasts for nine months.

How is the due date calculated?

The due date or the estimated date of delivery (EDD) is the day when spontaneous labor is expected to start. To calculate the due date, add 280 days (nine months and seven days) to the starting day of the last menstrual cycle (LMP).

This is the strategy employed by "pregnancy wheels."
The accuracy of the EDD determined by this method is dependent on the mother's exact recall of the number of days in her menstrual cycle, as well as ovulation and conception happening on day 14 of the cycle.
The use of LMP may overestimate the length of the pregnancy by more than two weeks when used to calculate the due date.

The doctor may tell a person | s approximate due date based on physical examination and ultrasound findings.

What are trimesters?

A full-term pregnancy of 40 weeks is divided into three trimesters with each trimester consisting of three months in duration.
First trimester

The first trimester is called early pregnancy that lasts from the 1st to 13th week.

First month
One to four weeks of pregnancy.
During the first and second weeks of the first trimester, the egg released by the female will be fertilized by the sperms that enter the uterus following unprotected vaginal sex.
During the third and fourth weeks, the fertilized egg moves down the fallopian tubes and reaches the uterus. During this stage, the single cell in the egg starts to divide to form multiple cells, which is called an embryo.
Not all embryos implant to form a fetus. Sometimes, the menstruation process may begin, the fertilized egg may not be able to get implanted and it is released out.
Second month
5th to 8th weeks of pregnancy.
At 5 to 6 weeks, the implanted embryo grows to 4 to 5 mm long and starts developing the following:
The circulatory system
Simple beating heart
Buds to form the arms and legs
Bud of a tail grows
The neural tube develops that will eventually give rise to the brain, spinal cord, and main nerves
Umbilical cord begins to form
At 7 to 8 weeks, the embryo is 7 to 14 mm long and forms:
The heart
Webbed fingers and toes
Arms are bent at the elbows
Facial structures, such as ears, eyes, eyelids, and upper lip develop
Liver is developed
Differentiation of sex begins during this time
Third month
9th to 13th weeks of pregnancy.
At 9 to 10 weeks:
The embryo develops into a fetus and grows up to 21 to 40 mm long
Tail disappears at this time of development
Toes and fingers grow
The placenta is developed and is attached to the uterus to get nutrients
The abdomen of the fetus and placenta are connected by the umbilical cord
The umbilical cord provides the fetus with nutrients and oxygen and carries away waste products from the fetus
At 11 to 12 weeks, the fetus can be measured from the head to the buttocks, which is called crown-rump length (CRL):
The CRL is two to three inches
Bones get stronger
Webbing of toes and fingers is no longer seen
Fingernails grow big, and the skin develops
External sex organs begin to develop under the influence of hormones
Fetus moves spontaneously
Kidneys begin to filter blood and form urine
Eyelids fuse
Sweat glands appear

Second trimester

The second trimester is called mid-pregnancy and lasts from the 14th to the 27th week.

Fourth month
14th to 17th weeks of pregnancy.
By the end of the 13th week and beginning of the 14th week, the fetus undergoes the following developments:
The crown-rump length (CRL) is about three inches
The biological sex of the fetus can be determined by looking at the external sex organs
In biological males, the development of the prostate gland begins
In biological females, the ovaries descent from the abdomen to the pelvic area
Hair starts growing
The roof of the mouth is developed
At 15 to 16 weeks:
The CRL is about 4.5 inches
Millions of eggs form in the ovaries if the fetus is biologically female
Fifth month
18th to 22nd weeks of pregnancy.
By the end of the 17th week and the beginning of the 18th week, the fetus has a CRL of 5.5 to 6 inches.
At 19 to 20 weeks:
The CRL is 6.5 inches
The body is covered with fine hair
The skin is covered by a protective greasy material called vernix caseosa
Biological females develop a uterus
At 21 to 22 weeks:
The fetus CRL is about 7 inches
Blood cells are developed from the bone marrow
Taste buds start developing
Sixth month
23rd to 27th weeks of pregnancy.
At 23 to 24 weeks:
The fetus CRL is about 8 inches
At 25 to 26 weeks:
The fetus CRL is about 9 inches
The development of fat increases in the fetus, and it keeps on developing until the pregnancy ends
Eyelashes and eyebrows are developed in 23 to 26 weeks

Third trimester

The third trimester is called late pregnancy and is the 28th to 40th week or until the delivery of the baby.

Seventh month
28th to 31st weeks of pregnancy.
By the end of the 27th week and beginning of the 28th week, the fetus has:
The crown-rump length (CRL) of about 10 inches
Eyelids remain fused until 28 weeks
At 29 to 30 weeks:
The CRL of the fetus is 10.5 inches
The testis starts to descend into the scrotum from the abdomen in biological males, and the process completes at the 40th week
At 31 to 32 weeks:
The CRL of the fetus is about 11 inches
The soft baby hair called lanugo starts to shed off
Eighth month
32nd to 35th weeks of pregnancy.
At 33 to 34 weeks:
The CRL of the fetus is about 12 inches
Development of pupils has reached to an extent that they can constrict and dilate with response to light
The lanugo is completely lost
Ninth month
36th to 40th weeks of pregnancy.
By the end of the 35th week and beginning of the 36th week:
The CRL of the fetus is about 12.5 inches
The skin tightens wrinkles do not appear, and the fetus becomes bulkier due to fat deposition
At 37 to 38 weeks:
The CRL of the fetus is about 13 to 14 inches
The fetus develops a firm grip
At 39 to 40 weeks the mother delivers the fetus:
The newborn may weigh up to seven to eight pounds and range from 18 to 22 inches long with open legs
The lanugo and vernix are completely gone
If the fetus is born with lanugo, it may disappear within a few months
