Pregnancy

Pregnancy, or gestation, is a duration of time in which a female bares a maturing infant within her body. Generally, a woman's pregnancy typically lasts about nine months

When a female egg and a male sperm conjoin in a woman's body, conception occurs; thus fertilizing the egg. The fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterine lining inside the woman's abdomen. For the following nine months, the egg grows within the uterus into a fully developed baby.

During the first eight weeks of pregnancy, all the infant's major organs begin to develop. At this stage, the infant is considered an embryo. After the ninth week of pregnancy through birth, the infant's body grows in size. Further maturation of organs continue as well. During this time, the baby is called a fetus. Pregnancy has reached its complete cycle when the female delivers her newborn.
