The time between fertilization and birth is about 38 weeks for a normal pregnancy.It is divided into three periods called trimesters. The egg divides into cells that continue to divide to form all the tissues of the body until they become a fully formed human being that can live outside the mother's body. Here is a look at the major changes that take place during each trimester.

In humans, the baby is considered pre-term (not fully grown) if it is born prior to 37 weeks gestational age. Most babies will be a little bigger and healthier though if they continue to grow for another 3 or 4 weeks before delivery.

Gestation normally takes 9 months, however, development progresses even into adulthood. For example, the brain isn't fully developed until a human's early twenties.
