The unborn baby spends around 38 weeks in the uterus, but the average length of pregnancy, or gestation, is counted at 40 weeks. Pregnancy is counted from the first day of the womanâs last period, not the date of conception which generally occurs two weeks later.
Normal full term pregnancy is considered to be anywhere from 37 to 42 weeks. Usually, for first time mums, the baby will drop several weeks before labour begins. Of course, every pregnancy is unique and the only one that truly knows when it is time to come out is your baby!!!! a BabyCenter member.
