How many weeks is a normal delivery?

Patient's question:

I recently finally got pregnant with my own little baby, so I'm very happy. But since it's my first time, I don't understand many things. Now I want to know how many weeks is a normal delivery? So I can make those preparations in advance.

Doctor's answer:

Normal pregnancy duration is from 40 to 42 weeks, considered full-term delivery. Clinically, the estimated due date is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. Your gynecologist will help you calculate the estimated due date.
Guidelines:
After confirming pregnancy, doctors usually recommend that pregnant women take vitamin E, folic acid tablets, etc. If pregnancy symptoms are severe, vitamin B6 can be taken to alleviate them. Avoid sexual intercourse for three months before and after pregnancy. Pay attention to personal hygiene, enhance nutrition, rest, maintain a good mood, and get adequate sleep. Regularly visit the gynecology department for prenatal check-ups.
