A General Summary of Pregnancy: Pregnancy is the period during which a baby develops in a woman’s womb. It typically lasts about 40 weeks (around 9 months), measured from the first day of the last menstrual period to birth. Stages of Pregnancy: 1. First Trimester (Weeks 1–12): Early signs: missed period, nausea (morning sickness), fatigue, tender breasts. Development: fertilized egg becomes an embryo; major organs begin to form. Important screenings: blood tests, ultrasounds to check development and rule out abnormalities. 2. Second Trimester (Weeks 13–26): Often considered the "easiest" trimester—many early symptoms fade. Development: fetus grows rapidly, organs continue developing, and movements can be felt. Ultrasound: usually done around 18–20 weeks to check anatomy and possibly determine the baby’s sex. 3. Third Trimester (Weeks 27–40): The baby gains weight and prepares for birth. Common symptoms: back pain, swelling, trouble sleeping, Braxton Hicks contractions. Positioning: baby moves into head-down position in preparation for delivery. Labor & Delivery: Starts with regular contractions and dilation of the cervix. Can happen naturally (spontaneous labor) or be induced. Delivery can be vaginal or via C-section, depending on medical needs. Key Health Considerations: Prenatal care is crucial for monitoring health of mother and baby. Nutrition: balanced diet with folic acid, iron, calcium, and other nutrients. Avoid harmful substances like alcohol, tobacco, and certain medications.
