Pregnancy week by week will take in a tour around your body and your baby's development.
Pregnancy week by week: First Trimester Second Trimester Third Trimester
The first trimester of your pregnancy week by week:
Pregnancy week by week- Week 0 -3: Seven
days after the fertilisation of the egg, your body sends chemical
signals to stop the menstruation. In week 3 you will start missing
the menstruation and sometimes start getting nausea. |
Pregnancy week by week - Week 4:A
pregnancy test can detect you are pregnant 12 days after fertilisation.
At this stage your pregnancy is confirmed. You should start choosing
a gynecologist and planning your first pregnancy appointment to
visit the doctor
14 days after fertilisation the embryo will form as a single person. Up to that moment the cell could have divided into several embryos. The baby has adopted a rounded shape and the heart is beating. |
Pregnancy week by week - Week 5:You
might be experiencing the first pregnancy symptoms, like a strong
sense of smell, morning sickness... Craving for some particularl
type of food, and at this stage of pregnancy you will start feeling
extremely tired. Your baby is floating happily in the amniotic fluid, attached to the umbilical cord. A this time your baby is approximately 7 mm long, about as long as a rice grain. |
Pregnancy week by week - Week 6:Most
women now feel the morning sickness and other strong pregnancy symptoms,
caused by the hormonal revolution going on in her body, which tends
to make her feel a bit more cranky. The embryo has now the power to push the blood around his/her little body. The baby is developing the face. Two things will appear into the sides of the head - they will become the ears. |
Pregnancy week by week - Week 7:Some food will give strong stomach acid, so try to avoid them. You feel tired all the time but not fancying any tea or coffee, just rest.Your baby is changing the properties of its body, everything starts to get longer and his/her position in the uterus changes. The head and the feet of the baby are already formed. Eyes, kidneys and lungs are developing fast. |
Pregnancy week by week - Week 8:In this stage
of the pregnancy your blood volume has increased by 40 %. Your
uterus is now the size of an orange. Your hormones are all over
the place. |
Pregnancy week by week - Week 9:Your clothes are tights around your waist. You feel your breast and your waist now growing. Your baby now has toes! Now the baby's liver produces red blood cells which circulate around the body because of the heart beat. The skin of the embryo is getting thicker and less transparent. Now the head is half of the total body length. The baby has kidneys and can urinate. |
Pregnancy week by week - Week 10:In this stage of the pregnancy the mother's weight has increased between 900 and 1800g. So it's time to start hydrating the skin. You are already in the first quarter of your pregnancy, very soon the risk of abortion will be over.The baby has developed a vagina if it's girl or a penis if it's a boy. Now the face of the baby is almost completely formed. |
Pregnancy week by week - Week 11The
nausea and morning sickness continue but soon it will be over. By
now you have probably put on 10% of the total weight you will gain
in the pregnancy. |
Pregnancy week by week - Week 12At this stage of the pregnancy it is common to suffer from constipation. A high fibre diet, vegetable and fruits are recommended.The uterus is now too big to stay in the pelvis area, so starts pushing up. The embryo shows activity, but is still too small to move inside the uterus. Now the baby will weigh about 14g and has a length of about 8 cm. Now it's possible to visualize the movement of the hands and feet in the ultrasound tests. |
