First Trimester of Pregnancy

To all mothers in the world:

I want to share info about what will gonna happen to you and your baby in the first trimester of your pregnancy.
This is so a wonderful time, just enjoy it with fun & no worries.

Mother:

• The breasts will start to change, becoming larger, and tender as hormone changes cause changes in breast tissue. This is to prepare them for breastfeeding. The pigment of the areola may also get darker, and small lumps may appear called Montgomery's tubercles.
  
  
• Nausea and vomiting may occur at any time of the day usually lasting 8-12 weeks.
  
  
• Mother may feel very tired as her energy demands increase.
  
  
• Some women experience headaches as a result of the physical and emotional changes.
  
  
• A dark line may appear from your navel downward (linea nigra)
  
  
• Increased frequency of urination due to pressure on the bladder

Baby:

• By eight weeks the fetus has all the organs including the heart that is already pumping. Bone formation has begun.
  
  
• By twelve weeks, the baby's sex can be determined. The baby teeth are present in the gums. Fingernails and toenails are forming. The baby can move in the amniotic fluid, but the movements are small and cannot be felt by the mother.
  
  
• The baby is 9cm or 3.5 inches, and weighs 15 grams or 0.5 oz
