Detailed explanation-1: -The unborn baby spends around 38 weeks in the uterus, but the average length of pregnancy, or gestation, is counted at 40 weeks. Pregnancy is counted from the first day of the woman’s last period, not the date of conception which generally occurs 2 weeks later.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gestation is the period of time between conception and birth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Term Levels Early-term is defined as 37 weeks through 38 weeks and six days. Full-term is 39 weeks through 40 weeks and six days. Late-term is 41 weeks through 41 weeks and six days. The post-term is 42 weeks and after.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pregnancy is considered to be “full-term” at 40 weeks (or 280 days). A pregnancy that continues for longer than 42 weeks is called a post-term, prolonged or overdue pregnancy. If the mother and baby are both doing well, being up to one week “late” isn’t associated with any particular risks for either of them.
