<p>Pregnancy is one of the most exciting times in a woman’s life, and in a couple’s relationship. Being able to nurture and nourish a growing baby is a gift that should be cherished and held dear. The development of your unborn baby is a fascinating process that never ceases to amaze.</p><p>The timeline video below counts the weeks of pregnancy starting with the date of the beginning of the woman's last menstrual period, which is estimated to be about two weeks before the date of conception. Therefore, the countdown of fetal development begins at week three after the beginning of the woman's last menstrual period. When counted this way, pregnancy will last a total of 40 weeks.</p><div class="asset-video"> <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cX59tv5iqr4"> </iframe> </div>
