How many weeks is a human pregnancy?

Just curious about general biology, actually. How many weeks is a human pregnancy usually, from start to finish?

My biology professor said it's exactly 40 weeks on average. That's around 280 days if you're counting. Crazy how much goes on in there!

It is 40 weeks. Don't go by what people tell you on forums about trying to deliver early using home remedies. Let your doctor tell you when it is safe.

It is 40 weeks, which feels like 40 years when you are the one waiting! Get all the sleep you can right now because life changes completely after.

It is 40 weeks! That is nine months of eating whatever you want and blaming it on the baby. Enjoy the ride!

It is around 40 weeks. During this entire period, keeping a balanced vegetarian diet with enough protein from paneer and dal is very important for the baby's development.
