Explain the term 'gestation period'. What does the placenta provide to the growing foetus?
Answers
The placenta is an organ attached to the lining of your womb during pregnancy. It keeps your unborn baby's blood supply separate from your own blood supply, as well as providing a link between the two. The link allows the placenta to carry out functions that your unborn baby can't perform for itself.
Gestation is the period of time between conception and birth. Gestational age is the common term used during pregnancy to describe how far along the pregnancy is. It is measured in weeks, from the first day of the woman's last menstrual cycle to the current date.
