The period between fertilisation of ovum till the birth of a well-developed baby is called gestation period. It is about 9 months in humans. Parturition is the process of delivering the baby. Lactation describes the secretion of milk from the mammary glands and the period of time that a mother lactates to feed her young one. Ovulation is the process of formation or release of a mature egg, that happens during the monthly sexual cycle in females.
