Detailed explanation-1: -The average length of human gestation is 280 days, or 40 weeks, from the first day of the woman’s last menstrual period. The medical term for the due date is estimated date of confinement (EDC).
Detailed explanation-2: -Your 40 weeks of pregnancy are counted as nine months. That’s because each month (except February) is about 4.3 weeks long.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last menstrual period. This means an extra 2 weeks are counted at the beginning of your pregnancy when you aren’t actually pregnant. So pregnancy lasts 10 months (40 weeks)-not 9 months-because of these extra weeks.
Detailed explanation-4: -Have you ever wondered why women stay pregnant for nine months? For decades, anthropologists have explained the timing of human gestation and birth as a balance between two constraints: the size of a women’s hips and the size of a newborn’s brain.
Detailed explanation-5: -The short answer is 280 days, 40 weeks, 3 trimesters, or a little more than 9 months.
