Let's dive right into it! The first trimester begins at conception and lasts until week 12; some key changes occur during this time. Your body is undergoing hormonal shifts, which can cause nausea, fatigue, mood swings, and food cravings. Your baby is also developing rapidly, with organ formation beginning as early as week 3.
The second trimester is generally considered the most comfortable phase, spanning weeks 13 to 28. You'll likely experience increased energy levels, and your symptoms may lessen. The fetus grows and gains weight, and you might start feeling those famous kick counts!
The third and final trimester is from week 29 to birth. This stage brings many exciting changes as the baby prepares for arrival; there's an increase in fetal movements, and you'll likely notice more pronounced body changes like a growing bump and backaches. The risk of preterm labor also heightens, so extra care and monitoring are needed.
Each trimester has unique experiences and milestones - it's an incredible journey! Let's share our symptoms, joys, and tips for each stage.
