Pregnancy Stages

The pregnancy stages that you will go through in the nine months of pregnancy,   

Pregnancy usually lasts for 40 weeks from the first day of your last period, The 40 weeks are divided into stages called trimesters.  

You in the first trimester is week 1 to week 12 

Your first trimester is when all your hormones begin to affect your entire body and from then on you can begin to have pregnancy symptoms, the first will more than likely be that your period stops, then you may begin to feel more tired and have tender breasts. Then we have morning sickness another common pregnancy symptom which is not restricted to that particular time of the day, vomiting can happen at any time. Also a pregnant woman might have the frequent need to go to the toilet to wee more often than she would normally. 

Then we have the classic pregnancy symptom “cravings.” Pregnancy can bring many changes connected to the body, and also to the taste buds too. You could find yourself eating foods you wouldn’t normally eat. 

These are just some of the changes that may happen in your first trimester; the changes may feel uncomfortable for a while but will soon ease off.     

 Baby in the first trimester    

Baby will grow very quickly and will already have lots of the organs your baby needs to survive, including the heart and nervous system which will be there from around nine weeks pregnant, your baby is no longer referred to as an embryo, and is now a fetus. From about ten weeks the nutrients are passed to your baby through the placenta. 

You in the second trimester is week 13 to week 28    

This pregnancy stage will feel much easier to cope with as your body is settling in nicely with the hormones and getting used to the changes, the sickness and tiredness begin to ease off slowly but surely. Towards the end of this stage of pregnancy you may begin to feel some back ache, or as some pregnant women will describe being more of back pain. Other: Darkening of the nipples and there maybe some stretch marks in sight also.  

There will be lots of other changes happening to your body at this point, because your abdomen will be growing bigger and you may have what is called a pregnancy mask which is browning of the cheeks and nose, and you could have swelling in your ankles, at the end of this trimester you will also be able to feel your new baby kick.    

Baby in the second trimester    

Baby is swallowing amniotic fluid and then gets rid of this through their gut. At this stage of pregnancy the baby’s organs are maturing more each day. Their sex organs will develop also, their kidneys start to work and baby can now pass a small amount of urine and also hear noises and sounds made, while still in the womb.     

You in the third trimester is week 29 to week 40  

In this final trimester with baby growing bigger, your body adjusting and getting ready for birth you will feel short of breath, some heartburn. Also some women get piles or feel constipated, your breast will be feeling hard, and also growing and feel very tender and sore and may leak which looks like watery milk. You will probably be having difficulty sleeping and not being able to get in a comfortable position. Your baby will be trying to position themselves into place so they will be head down. You could also get Braxton hicks at this stage which are false contractions but don’t mistake them for the real contractions.    

Baby in the third trimester    

Baby will now have fine hair and finger nails and they can now open and close their eyes to blink, the unborn infant also at this time can make breathing motions even though he/she cannot breathe until birth. Baby’s teeth can also start growing under their gum, but it has been known of some baby’s to be born with teeth already set in place. 

End of your pregnancy    

As your due date comes closer your cervix gets ready for birth and begins to thin and soften, this time is an anxious time for both parents it is a waiting game and baby will come out when ready
