The gestation period for a human typically lasts about 40 weeks, counting from the first day of the last menstrual period. This is roughly equivalent to nine months. However, a full-term pregnancy can range from 37 to 42 weeks. Babies born before 37 weeks are considered preterm, while those born after 42 weeks are considered post-term.
