Duration of Pregnancy

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.

Missed period

This is usually the first symptom that suggests you might be pregnant. This is not a sure sign that you are pregnant, there can be other reasons for missed periods.

Morning sickness

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.

Breast changes

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.

Frequent urination

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.

Bloating

Your body makes many different hormones when you are pregnant. You might get a feeling of bloating because of these hormones.

Food cravings

In early pregnancy, many women get cravings for certain kinds of foods. You can consult best female gynaecologist regarding pregnancy pregnancy clinic in Delhi.

Pregnancy Due Date Calculator

How does the calculator work?

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.

Kick Count

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.
