An unborn baby spends around 38 weeks in the womb, but the average length of pregnancy (gestation) is counted as 40 weeks.
This is because pregnancy is counted from the first day of the woman’s last period, not the date of conception, which generally occurs 2 weeks later.
Pregnancy is roughly divided into 3 stages known as trimesters of about 3 months each :
First Trimester – conception to 12 weeks
Second Trimester – 13 to 27 weeks
Third Trimester – 28 to 40 weeks.
Length of pregnancy can vary between women – babies are considered 'full term' if they are born anywhere between 37-42 weeks.
