Pregnancy is difficult and long. As the fetus grows slowly, every pregnant woman hopes to give birth quickly. But pregnancy is like planting a seed, it only sprouts after a period of time. Pregnancy is no exception, childbirth requires a certain amount of time. Can we take a look at how long it takes to conceive and give birth together?
The entire pregnancy period is 280 days, which is 40 weeks. But few women are able to give birth on time, and most will give birth a few weeks earlier or one or two weeks later. Generally speaking, giving birth after 37 weeks of pregnancy is considered normal and there is no need to worry too much. Because every woman's ovulation pattern is different, whether it is early or late, it is within the normal range. It is important to pay attention to prenatal check ups.
The calculation of gestational age is based on the month, and there is a simple formula that can help pregnant women calculate their own pregnancy and delivery date. Add 9 or subtract 3 from the month of pregnancy, which is the month of due date. Then add 7 to the date of the last menstrual period, which is the specific date of the expected delivery date.
The estimated due date is only a reference and does not mean that the pregnant woman will give birth on that day. The specific date can be advanced or postponed. Therefore, it is recommended that pregnant women start preparing delivery packages after the due date, so that when there are signs of childbirth, they can immediately go to the hospital for delivery.
