The gestation period is actually a fancy term to say how long a woman is pregnant and when she is going to have a baby. So, when it comes to human females, this period of pregnancy lasts from 38 to 42 weeks, if there aren't any complications. If a child is born before week 37, then that would be a premature baby. When it comes how the age is determined, well, it starts from the day the baby is born - that is its first day "alive."

Answer:

The length of gestation starts on the first day after the last period and lasts until the end of the pregnancy/until the baby is born. The age is determined by counting the days since contraception.

Darina [25.2K]
<span>People with a healthy body image will not obsess about features. They will know that they look good because they spend months or years exercising to get there to the point where they are finally happy with the way they look. And if they are satisfied with their looks, they obviously won't be obsessed with them and find any flaws there.</span>

How will health goals you set now be affected in the future?
neonofarm [45]

Answer: You are more likely to reach your ultimate goal if you break it down into small, short-term mini-goals. Short-term goals are specific, daily actions or behaviors that lead you to your ultimate goal. Once you have decided on your health and fitness goal, you need to consider how you will reach that goal. Different fitness goals require different approaches. For example, weight loss requires you to regularly burn more kilo-joules than you consume.
