Pregnancy is the development of one or more offspring, known as an embryo or fetus, in a woman's uterus. It is the common name for gestation in humans. A multiple pregnancy involves more than one embryo or fetus in a single pregnancy, such as with twins. Childbirth usually occurs about 38 weeks after conception, from the start of the last normal menstrual period (LNMP). Conception can be achieved when a male sperm penetrates into a women抯 egg and fertilizes it. This usually happens in the woman's fallopian tube after ovulation (the matured egg was released from one of her ovaries). In the cases of infertile couples pregnancy is achieved with the help of assisted reproductive technology.

Most pregnancies last from 37 to about 42 weeks. Health care professionals calculate the delivery date 40 weeks from the date of conception (the date the sperm and egg fused). According to the National Health Service, UK, only about 1 in every 20 births actually takes place on the due date. A baby who is born before 37 weeks after conception is considered pre-term (premature) and babies born after the 43 week mark are considered post-mature.
Symptoms of pregnancy

Every woman is different. So are her experiences of pregnancy. Pregnancy symptoms differ from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy; however, one of the most significant pregnancy symptoms is a delayed or missed period. Understanding the signs and symptoms of pregnancy is important because each symptom may be related to something other than pregnancy. You may experience signs or symptoms of pregnancy within a week of conception. However, it is possible you may not experience any symptoms for a few weeks. Most common signs of pregnancy are

Missed period
Nausea with or without vomiting
Tiredness
Dizziness
Breast changes
Breast tenderness
Frequent urination
Headaches and back pain
Mood Swings
Constipation

Nausea generally affects pregnant women during the first three to four months of the pregnancy. Tiredness tends to be more acute during the first and last three months. You can be pregnant without experiencing any of these signs and symptoms.

Pregnancy Test

All pregnancy tests work by detecting a certain hormone in the urine or blood that is only there when a woman is pregnant. This hormone is called human chorionic gonadotropin or hCG. It is also called the pregnancy hormone.There are two common types of pregnancy tests - the urine test and the blood test. Urine tests can be performed at home through an over the counter test. They are also sometimes done at a doctor抯 office. Blood tests, on the other hand, are always performed at doctor抯 offices.

The Three Trimesters of Pregnancy

The development of pregnancy is counted from the first day of the woman抯 last normal period, even though the development of the fetus does not begin until conception. Development of fetus may vary due to the mother抯 health or a miscalculation of ovulation. Pregnancy is divided into trimesters which last about 12 - 14 weeks each. These three trimesters have different emotional and physical happenings that make them unique. Similar to development, these can be calculated from different dates so not all trimester calculations will equal the same. The pregnancy is divided into three trimesters. Each of the three trimesters is divided into a little over 3 completed months each. The first trimester is week 1 through the end of week 13. The second trimester usually ends around the 26th week and consists of the 4th, 5th and 6th completed months. The third trimester can end anywhere between the 38th ?42nd week and is the 7th, 8th and 9th completed months of pregnancy.
