To count the duration of a pregnancy, we start from the first day of your last menstrual period up to the 37th-40th week. These 37-40 weeks further divide into three trimesters that last 13 weeks each.<\/p>\n
The first trimester starts on the first week, which begins on the first day of your last menstrual period all through to the 13th week. During the first trimester, although your pregnancy may not show, your body is going through many internal changes as it seeks to accommodate the growing fetus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The best way to prepare yourself for motherhood as well as pregnancy is to become knowledgeable. In this guide, Expecting a Baby for New Moms, we shall look at, and understand the trimesters and the changes you can expect to see as your pregnancy progresses. You will also learn about how to take care of your health and your baby\u2019s as well as how to prepare for labor and child birth.<\/p>\n
You can never be 100% certain that you are pregnant until you take a home pregnancy test or a blood test at your OB\u2019s office. To get the correct results, do the test after missing your menstrual period. A missed period does not necessarily mean you are pregnant, but it is one of the major signs indicating that you could be pregnant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4087,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"product_cat":[43],"product_tag":[],"yoast_head":"\n
