preg·nan·cy (prĕg'nen-sē) : The condition of being pregnant


The period from conception to birth. After the egg is fertilized by a sperm and then implanted in the lining of the uterus, it develops into the placenta and embryo, and later into a fetus. Pregnancy usually lasts 40 weeks, beginning from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period, and is divided into three trimesters, each lasting three months.

Pregnancy is an exciting time in the life of any expectant couple. The new idea of a baby and learning the physical changes of both mother and child over the forty weeks can be quite overwhelming.
