It is 40 weeks. Just make sure you track the weeks from the first day of your last period, as that is how doctors calculate it.

Typically it is 40 weeks. Don't worry if you go slightly past your due date, as doctors only consider it overdue after 41 or 42 weeks.

It is 40 weeks. To stay active throughout these weeks, my wife did light yoga and walking, which really helped her stay fit until the delivery day.
