The way to child birth may be a wonderful journey full of changes and pleasant surprises for a woman. Besides the miracle of a new life growing inside the womb, the woman also learns new things about herself with every stage of pregnancy. The first weeks of child bearing usually pass without being noticed, only when more severe pregnancy symptoms appear, the woman actually makes a difference.
Pregnancy is usually divided into three stages or three trimesters. Every stage of pregnancy is approximately ninety days long. Each passing month will bring new changes for your baby that grows day by day. Specific to the first stage of pregnancy is the adjusting to the new condition. This is when both fears and hopes about the future arise. Many couples experience lack of sexual activity during this first trimester.
The first stage of pregnancy brings about greater focus on yourself and on the changes that occur within your body, to such an extent that the ones around you may feel neglected to some extent. Your partner should understand the emotional change you’re going through and should support you likewise. Throughout the first stage of pregnancy that extends from week 1 to week 12, your baby’s little heart will start to beat for the first time.
It is in the first stage of pregnancy that the leg and arm buds appear, the primitive digestive system develops and then the face and the spine begin to form. It is at the middle of the first stage that the brain, the liver, the kidneys and the bloodstream are in formation. The beauty of the first three months of life is that at their end your little baby is a fetus that starts moving and turning. It even swallows and has small nail beds.
During the second stage of pregnancy your baby’s heart will start beating a lot more strongly and it will develop fine hair all over the body called lanugo. By now it has finger and toe nails and it reacts to noise, it sucks thumb and its movements are a lot stronger. At the end of the second stage of pregnancy, the sixth month, it is 11-14 inches long and it weighs half a pound.
The last stage of pregnancy, the third trimester, prepares the baby for the arrival to this world. By now eyes open and close as the baby responds to light. It is the period when it accumulates calcium and iron to strengthen the bone system. The fine hair lanugo disappears and the baby is closer than ever to come to this world.
