Pregnancy is a wonderful process, during which expectant mothers can constantly experience the changes brought about by their baby's development. Although this process is full of comfort and surprise, it also brings considerable pain to the pregnant mother, so she will eagerly wait for the baby to be born. How many weeks and months is pregnancy usually?
The normal duration of pregnancy is 280 days, every seven days per week, which means the entire pregnancy period is 40 weeks. In theory, a pregnancy of 40 weeks is considered full-term. However, the ovulation date of each woman is different, and the expected delivery date is only a rough estimate, which is not very precise. It is normal to delay by two weeks, so babies born between 38-42 weeks of pregnancy are full-term infants.
If the baby is born before 38 weeks of gestation, it is considered premature, and there are still a few days left until 38 weeks, which means it is premature. For pregnant women with premature birth, there is no need to worry excessively. A shorter number of days of premature birth generally does not affect the health of the baby, so it is important to take good care of the baby after birth.
There are also some pregnant women who have exceeded their due date but have not given birth yet. At this time, attention should be paid and it is best to wait for delivery in the hospital. Because the placenta changes rapidly in the final stage of pregnancy, if not detected in a timely manner, calcification of the placenta cannot be treated in a timely manner, which may seriously endanger the baby's life safety.
