Rasedusnädalad

Rasedusnädalad refers to the gestational weeks of pregnancy, a standard way of measuring the duration of a pregnancy from the first day of the last menstrual period. This system is widely used in healthcare to track fetal development, schedule prenatal appointments, and determine the timing of various medical interventions. Pregnancy is typically divided into three trimesters, each spanning approximately 13 weeks. The first trimester, from conception to week 12, is characterized by rapid organ development. The second trimester, from week 13 to week 28, sees significant fetal growth and the mother often begins to feel fetal movements. The third trimester, from week 29 until birth, focuses on fetal maturation and preparation for delivery. Calculating rasedusnädalad is crucial for assessing fetal viability, identifying potential complications, and planning for labor and delivery. For example, premature birth is defined as birth before 37 completed weeks of gestation. Full term is generally considered between 37 and 40 weeks. Doctors use this standardized dating system to ensure accurate assessments of a pregnancy's progress and the baby's health throughout its development.
