Summary Introduction
Introduction: Gestation or pregnancy is the period during which the offspring develops within the uterus of a sexually mature woman. This involves several developmental stages of the fetus. In humans, pregnancy is nearly nine months long, which is divided into three trimesters, involving several changes in the mother and the growing fetus.
