Pregnancy is the physiological state in which a woman carries a developing fetus within her uterus, usually lasting around 40 weeks from the last menstrual period. Conception is when a sperm fertilizes an egg, forming a zygote that will eventually develop into an embryo. Pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg sets itself in the uterus lining and begins to grow and develop. Fertility and conception can be influenced by various factors such as age, health status, and lifestyle choices such as diet, exercise, and smoking.
