How long does it take for some animals to give birth?

This varies widely depending upon the species and the individual. I'll give three examples: humans, cows and horses.

From the water breaking to the placenta being discharged, some human females can take as little as 2 hours while other females are in labor for 2 days.

In cattle, from the water breaking to the placenta being discharged, some cows can clear the calf and placenta in 3 hours, while other cows may retain the placenta for 4 days.

In horses, from the water breaking to the placenta being discharged, a mare needs to get everything done within about 6 hours or she is in a life-threatening medical emergency.

What changes take place in placental secretion after the seventh month of gestation?

After the seventh month of gestation, placental secretion undergoes significant changes to support fetal development and prepare for labor. The placenta increases the production of hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, which help maintain pregnancy and promote fetal growth. Additionally, there is a rise in the secretion of human placental lactogen (hPL), which plays a role in regulating maternal metabolism and ensuring sufficient nutrient supply to the fetus. These hormonal changes also help prepare the maternal body for breastfeeding and the physiological demands of childbirth.

Your rabbit is 33 days pregnant should you take her to the vet?

Yes, the rabbit requires veterinary attention. The normal gestation period for rabbits is about 30 days. If 33 days have passed, something is definitely wrong. (Maybe the foetuses have died and become stuck in the rabbit's birth canal, in which case the rabbit will die if she is not immediately treated by a vet.)

How long is the gestation period for a protists?

Protists do not have a gestation period like animals since they reproduce primarily through asexual means, such as binary fission, or sexually through the formation of spores. The time it takes for protists to reproduce can vary widely depending on the species and environmental conditions. In some cases, reproduction can occur in a matter of hours, while others may take longer. Therefore, discussing a gestation period in the context of protists is not applicable.
