Wow! This is an extensive topic. I'm sure many expecting mothers will find this helpful. I'll keep my contributions concise since it's quite common ground for most parents these days.

First up, the initial stage: the first few weeks after conception when the embryo attaches and hormones start their wild dance! Morning sickness, fatigue, mood swings, and craving strange food combinations begin. It's also the time when some signs of pregnancy start to appear, though they can be very subtle.

It's an exciting journey and each stage definitely has its own challenges and highlights.

Each stage certainly throws some new challenges and experiences your way! It's an adventure for sure and definitely one of the most significant journeys you'll embark on.

What kind of changes were you curious about? Some women experience very different symptoms each trimester so it's interesting to hear what others went through too and gives a good indication of what's to come!

Each pregnancy is unique, but I was curious about the physical changes women experience - like the size and shape of the bump, skin changes, and so on - and also some of the emotional and mental shifts too. It's fascinating to hear how different stages affect people differently!

Each stage is truly remarkable!

You're so right; while there are some common experiences, every pregnancy journey is unique.

Physically, the bump's size and shape can vary so much - I've heard some women describe how they carry their baby 'high' or 'low', and of course, this can impact the overall appearance. Some mums-to-be also experience a noticeable change in skin texture and color, often attributed to the hormones.

Emotionally, it's a rollercoaster! There's so much going on: excitement, anxiety, anticipation, sometimes worry, and everything else imagines. For me, there were times of intense joy and then sudden feelings of overwhelm - often within the same day!

It's incredible how our bodies and minds adapt to each new stage, and it's a testament to the strength of the human mama!
