It takes 40 weeks for a baby to be considered fully developed (full term)...BUT what point of development are we talking about here? My daughter was born at 27 weeks (she was 3 months early), and I was amazed to this this tiny 1 lb. 14 oz. baby have ALL her parts...everything was there, just much smaller. Her lungs weren't full\y developed, neither was her little stomach and intestines, etc. There were lots of parts of her that still needed lots of catching up to do. But she thrived and she's now 13 months old and doing amazingly well. =)

I think everything is developed by 6 months, but the rest of the time in the womb is for the baby to grow and everything to get stronger.

The typical pregnancy lasts 280 days from the day of your missed period. The length of pregnancy is measured in "lunar" months (1 month = 4 weeks). Therefore, you are actually pregnant for 10 lunar months.

Not usually the whole nine months, but sometimes. That is the typical gestation period, but there are probably few babies born EXACTLY nine months after conception.
