Stages Of Pregnancy - What Mums-To-Be Must Know

Everybody must be telling you so many things about the different stages of pregnancy now. Right! The stages of pregnancy are the three trimesters that have duration of three months each. Breast heaviness, general exhaustion and of course an upheaval of emotions are the other pregnancy symptoms of the first trimester
Stage 1
The first stage of pregnancy is the trimester, which begins with the first day of your last menstrual period and ends with the 16th week of your pregnancy. A wave of emotions can overwhelm you during the first trimester.
Keeping a close watch on your pregnancy diet and regular doctor-approved exercise is a must. Stage 2
The physical changes that occur during the first trimester are not as subtle as the emotional changes. Most women do not appear pregnant during the first months of pregnancy, but other changes will be evident. One of the first signs in nausea.
Exhaustion and morning sickness (which can occur at any time of day) are common and will be experienced by the majority of pregnant women. The increase in hormones within your body can make you feel tired constantly and your breasts may be sore and/or tender and will feel more full.
The second stage of pregnancy is the second trimester and is counted from the 16th to the 28th week. For most women, the emotions experienced tend to focus on preparations and the things you will need once the baby arrives. Certainly not all women, but most women will become excited about the upcoming delivery and the idea of having a baby during the second trimester.
The second trimester is that stage of pregnancy by when you will become accustomed to some of the changes.
Stage 3
Finally, you would enter at the last trimester - the beginning of the end to the stages of pregnancy. This period would seem to crawl on slowly, what with a big, swollen tummy and the anxiety to quickly get child birth over with. The fear of delivery pains, general all-day fatigue, combined with sleeping problems, swollen feet, frequent urination, will make days seem very slow and laborious.
Many women grow restless, as they develop what is called the 'Nesting' urge. It is important now that you follow every part of your doctor's advice, so that complications can be avoided. Your pregnancy is going to be over soon and you will be a momma, so take extreme care and caution.
Remember, a pregnancy is once-in-a-lifetime experience. So, try to have fun and enjoy your stages of pregnancy. Best of luck!
