A normal pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks from the last period. Delivery usually happens anytime between 37 and 42 weeks.

It is 40 weeks. At my hospital, the doctors gave me a clear chart showing that 37 to 41 weeks is the normal delivery window. It is best to ask your own doctor about your specific date.

Normal pregnancy counts up to 40 weeks, sister. Don't worry too much about the exact days, just eat well and take care of your health.

It is 40 weeks. I struggled a lot with stress during my pregnancy thinking I would go overdue. It is okay to feel anxious, but trust that your body is doing its job.
