We know that pregnancy is an experience filled with surprises and excitement. Feeling a new life developing inside your body is an amazing experience and might be a period in which you develop healthy behaviors.

A normal pregnancy usually lasts about 40 weeks, divided into 3 trimesters. A trimester is three months, especially as a division of the duration of pregnancy.

Although all three trimesters are important in themselves, since the baby’s development mainly happens in the first trimester, it is considered the most important. During this period, the body of both the mother and the child are rapidly undergoing changes. The baby’s all major body organs, and systems are forming during this period. 

For the mother, although not much will be showing on the outside yet, your body is undergoing changes to help nourish and protect your baby. Mothers also start experiencing hormonal changes during this time, and emotional support, affection and love of family and loved ones is a support system.
