Pregnancy is a special period, during which not only do physical changes occur, but there are also many things to pay attention to. Pregnancy is a long process for many people, requiring experiencing various discomforts and hardships. So many people want to know how long the entire pregnancy lasts?
A normal pregnancy lasts for ten months, which is 40 weeks, and the entire pregnancy lasts for 280 days. The gestational age is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period, usually two weeks earlier than ovulation or fertilization, and three weeks earlier than implantation. Generally, pregnancy is divided into three stages, and the period before 14 weeks of pregnancy is called early pregnancy.
Pregnancy before 14 weeks to 28 weeks is called mid pregnancy, and after 28 weeks is called late pregnancy. Generally, after 37 weeks of pregnancy, the fetus is already full-term and can be born at any time. Although the normal gestational age is 40 weeks, being born after 37 weeks is not considered premature.
During pregnancy, there will be many significant changes in the body, and pregnant women need to bear the nutrition of two people alone. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange a reasonable and diverse diet during pregnancy in order to better protect the health of the fetus and pregnant women. And during pregnancy, it is also necessary to develop good lifestyle habits and pay attention to maintaining a good mentality in order to ensure the normal development of the fetus.
