I have a question. Since when has Human pregnancies lasted 10 months? When I was growing up and through my childbearing years, it was always 9 months of pregnancy. I know pretty much the exact day I got pregnant for all 4 of my pregnancies. My first pregnancy I conceived a week before my birthday in November and my son was born July 31st, the exact day the Dr. Gave me for his due date. So I was pregnant for around 36 weeks for each of my pregnancies. These day you have to be pregnant for at least 40 weeks. When did this happen?
