Pregnancy
1st month
Your Body
Advancement during pregnancy is normally communicated in weeks. From the principal day of your last menstrual period before origination to the 6th day following that is viewed as "week 0"; from the seventh day is considered week 1, etc. Hence, the time before origination is remembered for the weekly tally.
For Your Information
Ovulation happens around fourteen days after a menstrual period. At the point when the egg cell is fertilized during this stage and along these lines imbeds itself in the mass of the uterus, pregnancy is considered to have started. There is no adjustment in the size of the uterus yet.
Your Baby
Nonstop cell division of the egg happens at a fast pace, and at about two months the embryo turns into a fetus.
1st Trimester
Approaching 4 months (4 to 15 weeks)
The development of the amniotic sac, which forms a protective shell over the fertilized egg, induces a number of sudden changes in the body during this trimester so you will experience excessive symptoms of nausea and vomiting if you are suffering from morning sickness.
You will also notice unpleasant sensations, swollen nipples, and darkening of nipples as well. Constipation, heartburn, and indigestion are also common symptoms for some women, as is an intensified need to urinate. During the first trimester, there isn't much weight gain.
2nd Trimester
From 5 months (16 to 27 weeks)
For the majority of pregnant women, this is the most rewarding phase of their pregnancy. Your baby bump will begin to appear in your shirt, your first trimester morning sickness will begin to disappear, and your energy levels will begin to rise. When your uterus expands during birth, it places pressure on the muscles and ligaments in your lower abdomen, creating slight cramps.
Your facial skin can grow dark patches as a result of hormonal changes, and a dark line known as linea nigra may occur on your abdomen. Stretch marks may appear on the belly, legs, buttocks, and breasts as the skin and muscles stretch. It is important to maintain your oral hygiene while pregnant, as you may experience swollen and bleeding gums, as well as cavities due to tooth enamel loss.
3rd Trimester
From 8 months to childbirth (28 to 39 weeks)
The final weeks of your pregnancy are known as the third trimester. Your uterus stretches as your baby rises, changes, and begins to shift positions. Backaches, urinary incontinence, swelling knees, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids, as well as shortness of breath, can be more common, particularly when you lie down. Your breasts may swell, and colostrum, the same fluid that will nourish your baby in the first few days of birth, will be discharged.
In the final trimester of birth, you'll probably feel clumsier and more exhausted. During this trimester, you may feel sciatica, or shooting nerve pain that runs from your lower back to your buttocks and down your thigh. Braxton Hicks contractions, also known as "fake labor," trigger stomach cramps, but this is just the body planning for birth and does not indicate that you are in labor. Light bleeding in the second trimester, on the other hand, might indicate that you're about to give birth.
