A pregnancy is considered to be 9 months at the end of week 36, according to the provided reference.
Here's a breakdown:
- Pregnancy Duration: A typical pregnancy is around 40 weeks, although babies can be born earlier or later.
- Monthly Milestones: While it is common to refer to pregnancy in months, the length of months vary, leading to some ambiguity when trying to relate months to weeks. The reference states:
- Weeks 34-36: At the end of week 36, you will be nine months pregnant.
- Key Development: As you reach the end of your 9th month (week 36), your baby will experience final developments such as smoother skin and full nail growth.
| Month | Approximate Weeks |

| 9 Months | End of Week 36 |
Therefore, a pregnancy is considered nine months long at the end of the 36th week. The weeks following (weeks 37-40) are considered the final stretch before the due date.
