What is the period of conception before birth?

The period of conception before birth is called pregnancy or gestation. It typically lasts around 40 weeks from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period (LMP) to the birth of the baby.

Here's a breakdown of the stages of pregnancy:

* First trimester (weeks 1-13): This is when the embryo develops and most organs begin to form.

* Second trimester (weeks 14-27): The baby continues to grow and develop, and the mother starts to feel more movement.

* Third trimester (weeks 28-40): The baby continues to grow and prepare for birth. The mother's body also prepares for labor.

It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and individual pregnancies can vary.
