40 weeks from ovulations. 38 weeks from conception, most babies are delivered b/w 37 and 42 weeks. You can go over if your baby is late!

40 weeks is the standard due date. Some doctors will let you go 1 or 2 weeks past 40 weeks before inducing labor. Twins tend to come early, at around 37 or 38 weeks.

Doctors usually go by a 40 week scale, but that doesn't mean a person wont have a baby before that or after that time frame. Everyone is body is different in pregnancy so full term is different from person to person, it is when the baby want to come.

36-40 and sometimes 32-35 depending on the health of the baby, but your due date is 40 weeks after your first day of your last menstrual cycle

The doctors perfer 40 weeks becaues then the baby is full term. Any time though after 35 weeks though the baby is also considered full term. Good Luck!

I've had 5 kids, It's 40, though the baby is not considered premature if it's born after 38 weeks

4o weeks is the full term pregnancy. But it is normal for a women to have a baby between 36-42 weeks. I have two girls and they were born at 36 and 38 weeks. But everyone is different.

The average pregnancy is supposed to last 40 weeks. Longer than that & the placenta begins to break down & complications
arise which can cause birth defects & even death in the infant.
