Trimesters of a Pregnancy

Trimesters

A pregnancy is divided into 3 trimesters:

First trimester is from week 1 to the end of week 12.

Second trimester is from week 13 to the end of week 28.

Third trimester is from week 29 to the end of the pregnancy.

As a first-time mom, I ever wonder what goes on in my uterus (womb) from the time of conception to the time of my baby’s birth. As a result, I found the Week-by-Week Foetal Development from www.kidshealth.com. Below is a peek of the foetal development. So, check back every week of your pregnancy to see how your baby is developing and to find out what changes you can expect in your own body, too!
