yes they can go to 41 weeks and very rarely to 42 weeks but after 41 weeks there can be a danger to the baby as the placenta starts to stop working efficiently.

Does it take exactly nine months for a woman to give birth after she's gotten pregnant?

No. The pregnancy calendar is crazy!! A woman is actually two weeks pregnant when she actually has sex to conceive. So by the time she finds out she is pregnant (2 weeks later) she is actually four weeks pregnant technically. Most women will deliver around 40 weeks of pregnancy (which if you figure up is about 10 months!). Some women will deliver earlier while others will deliver later. If a woman goes too much past the due date, then the doctor will induce her.

I really think that depends on the person and if you have had a pregnancy in the past. People who are more in tune with their bodies and have had previous pregnancies might know they are pregnant before it will show up on a test.

They say that you can have a very heavy period and that is a sign of early miscarriage. Most woman have a miscarriage early in the first 3 weeks and didnt even know they were pregnant. They just thank that they are having a very heavy period and then they experience spotting also. More then 50% of pregnancy dont make it past the first 4 weeks and most woman dont ever know that they were expecting. From everything that I have read its not common to bleed heavy if your pregnant. I would check with your doctor. If you feel that you may be pregnant he-she can do a blood test.
