I'll share my pregnancy timeline, which I've divided into the three trimesters, as a guide:
1st Trimester ( Weeks 1-12)
• Week 4: First missed period -fertility tests and confirmation of the pregnancy
• Weeks 6-8: Ultrasound, hearing the heartbeat for the first time, HCG levels checked
• Weeks 9-12: First trimester screening, seeing and hearing the baby via ultrasound, relief from morning sickness begins
2nd Trimester (Weeks 13-26)
• Week 16: Gender reveal! (We're keeping it a surprise)
• Weeks 18-20: Anatomy scan, bubble bath photoshoot
• Weeks 22-24: Increased fetal movement, feeling kicks and jabs
3rd Trimester (Weeks 27 - 40)
• Week 32: The nesting phase begins!
• Week 36: Scheduled cesarean or natural birth preparation
• Weeks 38 - 40: Labor signs, contraction timing, excitement and anxiety all roll into one!
Everyone's journey is different and unique; please share your experiences and memories of each trimester. I can't wait to compare notes!
