- A normal pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks and is divided into three periods. each period is called a Trimester
First Trimester - from week 1 - weeks 12
Second trimester- from weeks 13 - weeks 28
Third trimester- from weeks 29- weeks 40
Very common Symptoms of early pregnancy include :
- The absence of your menstrual period,
- Breast changes, tiredness, nausea, mood swings, or other symptoms. Now these symptoms vary.
- Some women, I would call lucky as they hardly experience any of these symptoms, while on the other hand some experience severe symptoms and may even end up hospitalized for some time.
- As the pregnancy progresses there may be heartburn, difficulty sleeping, swelling of the ankles or fingers, hemorrhoids, and mild contractions.
- By the end of 37 weeks, a baby is considered full term and its organs are ready to function on their own.
- As your due date gets closer, your baby may turn into a head-down position for birth. Most babies "present" head down.
- Babies at birth typically weigh between 2.7kg and 4kg and are 19 to 21 inches long. Most full-term babies fall within these ranges.
