The stalked barnacle Pollicipes pollicipes (Gmelin, 1789), is a strictly littoral and essentially intertidal pedunculate cirripede that lives by forming dense aggregates or clumps on exposed rocky shores and cliffs associated with a high degree of hydrodynamism (Barnes 1996).
Since some women are unsure of the date of their last menstruation (perhaps due to period irregularities), a baby is considered full term if its birth falls between 37 to 42 weeks of its estimated due date. 1  The unborn baby spends around 37 weeks in the uterus (womb), but the average length of pregnancy, or gestation, is calculated as 40 weeks.
The average human pregnancy is 40 weeks long. However, a pregnancy is considered full term between week 37 of pregnancy and week 42 of pregnancy. Babies born during week 36 of pregnancy or earlier are considered preterm or premature. Babies born during week 43 of pregnancy or after are consider post-term or post-date.
