The average pregnancy goes 40 weeks after the last period, or 38 weeks after conception. Pregnancy is generally measured after the woman's last period. There are cases of premature babies, born in any week of the pregnancy. There are cases of the pregnancy continuing another week or two after 40 weeks. It depends on the woman and her baby.

You are considered full term at 37+ weeks and may go into labor anytime. If you are still pregnant at 40 weeks your doctor will assess you and decide if they think you will need to be induced. Some women are pregnant for 42 weeks and have to be induced.
