What is the gestational period for human beings?

The gestational period for human beings is approximately 40 weeks, or 280 days, calculated from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period (LMP).

However, it's important to note that:

* Actual gestation: The actual time from conception to birth is closer to 38 weeks.

* Variations: There can be variations in gestational length, with some babies being born prematurely (before 37 weeks) or post-term (after 42 weeks).
