Gestation
Gestation is the carrying of an embryo or fetus inside a female viviparous animal. Mammals during pregnancy can have one or more gestations at the same time (multiple gestations). According to the National Center for Health and Statistics there were over 136,000 multiple human births documented in the United States in 2003(NCHS). The time interval of a gestation is called gestation period, and the length of time the offspring have spent developing in the uterus is called gestational age.
