Uniquely human?
:::Technically pregnancy begins with the implantation of the foetus in the uterus, which occurs well after the intercourse which caused it. That said it does seem ridiculously harsh to ban someone from an article for an apparent unintentional mistake which was removed as soon as it was discovered. I do wonder where Engel got this information in the first place, it certainly wasn't from any school textbook or a proper teacher... [[User:StatsMsn|StatsMsn]] 08:04, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

::::And it is a fickle point, but Ed with the greatest respect you stated that conception occurs in the womb. This is not true, conception occurs in the Fallopian tubes, the embryo then develops in the uterus. I intend to expand this article further and include information on the development of the baby without mentioning sex [[User:StatsMsn|StatsMsn]] 08:09, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

It may be true that "pregnancy" in animals is known as gestation ''in academic circles'', but informally, animals are often said to be pregnant. And I'm fairly sure the word "gestation" is also used (medically) of human pregnancies. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 08:36, 24 May 2008 (EDT)
