Ooops, thank you heaps. Very glad to find out that 40 weeks is not a particularly correct answer either! But dividing 40 by 4 to get 10 months was a stupid mistake for me to make!
Average length of pregnancy, ovulation to birth is 268 days -- 38.3 weeks.
But we typically count pregnancy from last period (this is easier), which makes it pretty close to the round 40 that's usually cited.
> 40 weeks is 10 months from conception to birth.
A month is ~4.35 weeks, so 40 weeks is ~9.2 months.
