Pregnancy is typically divided into three trimesters, each lasting about 13 weeks. Understanding what happens each week can help you track your baby's development and prepare for the changes ahead.

First Trimester (Weeks 1-13)

The first trimester is crucial for organ development. Your baby grows from a fertilized egg to a fully formed fetus with all major organs. You may experience morning sickness, fatigue, and breast tenderness during this time.

Second Trimester (Weeks 14-27)

Often called the "golden period," the second trimester typically brings increased energy and the exciting milestone of feeling your baby move. Your baby's sex can usually be determined, and you'll have important screening tests.

Third Trimester (Weeks 28-40+)

The final trimester focuses on growth and preparation for birth. Your baby gains weight rapidly, and you'll feel stronger movements. You may experience some discomfort as your baby grows larger.
