It is 40 weeks, which is about 9 months and 7 days. My mother always said the baby will come when they are ready, so don't count the days too strictly!
Exactly 40 weeks from the first day of your last period is the standard due date. My doctor said only about 5% of babies are born on their actual due date, so 38 to 41 weeks is very common.
Technically it is 40 weeks, or 280 days. Most doctors consider a baby full-term at 37 weeks, so keep your hospital bag ready around that time just in case!
It is 40 weeks of pure magic and patience! My baby came at 39 weeks, and those last few weeks felt like years, but it is all so worth it when you hold them.
A full-term pregnancy is technically 40 weeks, but my doctor at the hospital explained that anything between 37 and 42 weeks is considered normal. Keep discussing your due date clearly with your gynac.
I was reading that it lasts about 40 weeks. Since my husband and I are trying to conceive, learning about these timelines makes me feel so excited and a bit nervous too.
