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.

Children usually have more infectious diseases per year than adults. Why do you think this is so?
AleksandrR [38]

Hello! OK, so my cousin had cancer and the children had to wear masks over their mouth to go into his house or hospital room. This is because children don't have as strong of an immune system as adults. Also, children tend to have more germs than adults. This could be due to school, the playground, or even playing in dirtier places like sand or the dirt.
