It is about 40 weeks. Keep some money aside for the regular scans and tests that happen every few weeks, especially in the final trimester.

It is 40 weeks. If you have thyroid issues, make sure you get your TSH levels tested every 4-6 weeks as recommended by your doctor to ensure a safe term.

A standard pregnancy is 40 weeks. The doctors at my hospital explained that delivery is perfectly safe anytime between weeks 37 and 41, but ask your doctor for your specific case.

Actually it's 40 weeks, yaar. Some people deliver a bit early or late, but 40 is the standard number that the doctors track.
