A normal delivery is typically considered to be nearly 10 months. While we often think of pregnancy as lasting 9 months, research indicates that babies born after at least 39 weeks in the womb tend to be healthier.
In more detail:
- Standard Perception: Most people associate pregnancy with a 9-month duration.
- Optimal Duration: Ideally, pregnancy should last closer to 10 months to allow the baby to fully develop.
- Healthier Babies: Studies suggest that babies who have had at least 39 weeks to grow in the womb have better health outcomes.
