Pregnancy, also known as gravidity or gestation, is the time during which one or more offspring develops inside a woman.

A multiple pregnancy involves more than one offspring, such as with twins.

Pregnancy can occur by sexual intercourse or assisted reproductive technology.

Childbirth typically occurs around 40 weeks from the last menstrual period (LMP).

This is just over nine lunar months, where each month is about 29½ days.

When measured from conception it is about 38 weeks.

An embryo is the developing offspring during the first eight weeks following conception, after which, the term fetus is used until birth.

Symptoms of early pregnancy may include missed periods, tender breasts, nausea and vomiting, hunger, and frequent urination.

Pregnancy may be confirmed with a pregnancy test.

Parenting or child rearing is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, financial, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood.

Parenting refers to the aspects of raising a child aside from the biological relationship.

An infant (from the Latin word infans, meaning "unable to speak" or "speechless") is the more formal or specialised synonym for "baby", the very young offspring of a human or other animal.

Biologically, a child (plural: children) is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty.

The legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority.

A mother is the female parent of a child.

Mothers are women who inhabit or perform the role of bearing some relation to their children, who may or may not be their biological offspring.

Thus, dependent on the context, women can be considered mothers by virtue of having given birth, by raising their child(ren), supplying their ovum for fertilisation, or some combination thereof.

Such conditions provide a way of delineating the concept of motherhood, or the state of being a mother.

Women who meet the third and first categories usually fall under the terms 'birth mother' or 'biological mother', regardless of whether the individual in question goes on to parent their child.

Accordingly, a woman who meets only the second condition may be considered an adoptive mother, and those who meet only the third a surrogacy mother.
