Pregnancy is a complex biological process that marks the development of a new life, beginning with fertilization and culminating in birth. Over approximately 40 weeks, the body undergoes profound physiological and hormonal changes to support the growing fetus. Research into pregnancy spans fields such as obstetrics, immunology, genetics, and developmental biology, revealing insights into maternal health, fetal development, and the factors that influence outcomes for both mother and child. Ongoing studies continue to deepen our understanding of everything from early embryonic stages to long-term health effects linked to conditions during pregnancy.
