Pregnancy is the period from conception to birth. After the egg is fertilized by a sperm and then implanted in the lining of the uterus, it develops into the placenta and embryo, and later into a fetus. Pregnancy usually lasts 40 weeks, beginning from the first day of the woman's last menstrual period, and is divided into three trimesters, each lasting three months.

5)Teens to adolesce

The age range for this category is from age 13-18. Teens have fine motor skills and their hand-eye coordination is smooth and technical. Mentally teens are at their learning 'prime' as far as learning and concentration goes. Adolescence is a transitional stage from childhood to adulthood. This period is often about a teen 'discovering' who they are as far as making it on their own is concerned.
