An average human pregnancy lasts for about 280 days or 40 weeks from the date of the last menstrual period (LMP). Traditionally, it has been calculated as 10 lunar months, or in terms of the modern calendar - 9 months and 7 days.
Fertilization of the egg by the sperm, however, occurs (considering an average menstrual cycle of 28 days) 14 days after the last period. Thus, the actual duration of a human pregnancy (gestation period) is 280 - 14 = 266 days.
Use our due date calculator to know your average pregnancy duration or expected date of delivery.
The symptoms of pregnancy are subjective to every mother but here are a few common symptoms that can be observed to confirm pregnancy. The major early pregnancy symptoms are:

This is a feeling of nausea and, sometimes, vomiting, especially in the mornings due to pregnancy. It occurs in approx. 50% of all pregnancies and is most marked at 2-12 weeks of pregnancy. It is usually most severe in the mornings, but may occur at any time and maybe precipitated by cooking odors and pungent smells.
There will be certain changes in your breasts due to the different hormones in the body. Your breasts will become slightly bigger and might be sore and tender. You might also notice some prominent veins on your breasts. The area around your nipples (areola) will also become darker.
As the uterus grows it presses on your urinary bladder and decreases the capacity of the bladder. You then feel the urge to urinate frequently. This feeling passes soon when the uterus grows bigger and goes into your abdomen.
Your body makes many different hormones when you are pregnant. You might get a feeling of bloating because of these hormones.

The due date calculator for pregnancy is based on the fact that the average human pregnancy lasts about 280 days from the last menstrual period (LMP). Remember that this due date is only an approximation. Most women will deliver around this date. Another simple way of calculating your due date is by adding 7 days to your LMP and then subtracting 3 months. Use month pregnancy due date calculator to asses your delivery time.
An indication of baby's (foetal) well-being
Your baby's activity is an indication of how well it is doing. Therefore, you must observe how much it moves. Most women begin to notice their baby moving by 16 to 20 weeks (5th month of pregnancy). The best time to observe the movement is an hour after a meal. Lie in a comfortable position, preferably on your left side. Begin to count the number of times your baby kicks within one hour. After you have counted 20 kicks, you may stop counting. This is a sign that your baby's activity is adequate. The normal kick count in pregnancy must be done three times a day, after each meal. The baby's activity will be increased following a meal. If you do not feel the baby moving at least 4 times during half an hour period please call your doctor immediately or rush to the hospital. This can be an indication that the foetus is not getting adequate oxygen and is in distress. Occasionally, before foetal death the activity may increase abnormally.

A couple of years back when my uncle Dr D K Tandon was diagnosed with Dementia, we were looking for a decent place where he can be taken care of. We chanced upon Vardaan Senior Citizen centre. I spoke to Dr Rekha Khandelwal and found her to be quite empathetic & considerate in her approach. My uncle is staying in Vardaan for last couple of years and we are grateful to Dr Rekha and her staff for taking care of my uncle.
My mother, Manorama Devi, was a patient of Parkinson’s disease and paralysis. We were managing her at home but due to complications of the illness and lack of trained caregivers I had to shift her to Vardaan Senior Citizens Home. Vardaan is truly home away from home and the entire staff under the able guidance of both Dr Rekha Khandelwal and Dr Rajiv Khandelwal works tirelessly to make the senior citizens feel at home.
