What is Pregnancy

Pregnancy is the fertilization and development of one or more offspring, known as an embryo or fetus, in a woman's uterus. Childbirth usually occurs after approximately 40 weeks from the start of the last menstrual period (LMP).

Symptoms of pregnancy include the absence of menstrual periods, morning sickness, breast changes, tiredness, nausea, mood swings, or other symptoms. A pregnancy test measures the human chorionic gonadotropin hormone in the urine or blood.

By the end of 37 weeks, a baby is considered full term and its organs are ready to function on their own.
