No apostrophe I think.

but you could reword it if you're not happy - 23rd week of pregnancy?

No apostrophe

Canyousewcushions · 17/04/2017 00:24

Yes to the apostrophe because it's a temporal expression.

JeanSeberg · 17/04/2017 00:29

Yes you definitely need the apostrophe:

One day's pay
Two weeks' holiday

Yes - gestation of 23 weeks = 23 weeks' gestation
