Pregnancy Stages - The 3 Pregnancy Stages Every
Woman Needs To Know
Author: Jennifer R Davis

There are three basic pregnancy stages that potential moms to
be should be aware of. In order, they're the first, second and
third trimesters of pregnancy. Each one is very different, and
the mother's body will change a lot from the beginning to the
end of each one. For example, in the first trimester in
particular the mother experiences a lot of changes. From
tiredness to breast changes to nausea and vomiting, they may not
be as pleasant as one would hope. It turns out, that pregnant
glow that some women have might be related to hot flashes! Also,
by the end of the first trimester the baby will have grown from
a cluster of cells to having a heartbeat, reflexes and the
ability to move its tiny little limbs!

The second trimester is one of the easier pregnancy stages. The
mother will have to start buying maternity clothes as the baby
will start to show. The mother might also start having troubles
sleeping. On the baby end of things, it will go from being the
size of a cherry to around ten inches in length. The child will
also start growing hair all over its body and its senses will
begin developing, as well as begin kicking quite frequently.

The third trimester is the craziest of all the pregnancy
stages. The mother will have to urinate quite frequently as the
baby puts extra pressure on her bladder. It might be a good idea
for the mother to look into breastfeeding and child birthing
classes to prepare for the inevitable. The third trimester ends
when the baby is born, usually about 40 weeks from the date of
conception. Couples who are expecting a baby might also get good
use out of a pregnancy calendar that can illustrate what your
body is going through over the course of the three pregnancy
stages.
