Pregnancy Stages

Pregnancy is divided into three key stages: the first trimester (weeks 1-12), the second trimester (weeks 13-26), and the third trimester (weeks 27-birth). During the first trimester, the embryo develops into a fetus and major organs begin to form, while the second trimester is marked by significant growth and the onset of fetal movement. The third trimester involves continued growth and maturation of the fetus, with preparations for birth and delivery. Each stage involves unique changes and milestones, making regular prenatal care essential for a healthy pregnancy.

Health and wellness during pregnancy are crucial for both the mother and baby’s well-being. Maintaining a balanced diet, staying hydrated, engaging in regular, moderate exercise, and attending prenatal check-ups help support healthy fetal development, manage pregnancy-related symptoms, and ensure overall maternal health. Prioritizing mental and emotional well-being, alongside physical health, contributes to a positive pregnancy experience and prepares the body for childbirth.
