Welcome to Motherhood!

It’s a great feeling to be a mom.
As you realise and progress in your term, you and your body undergo several changes. Knowing what to expect when helps you ease your fears and prepares you to deliver a baby in good health.
From a single microscopic cell to the baby you love to hold in your arms; pregnancy is a time for rapid change. You can see yourself changing too. You will gain 9–14 kilos which includes the weight of the placenta, uterus, blood, milk glands and the baby growing inside you.
The entire duration of pregnancy can be divided into three trimesters, each lasting 3 months:
The first trimester
The second trimester
The third trimester
Good care and nutrition is important in all the three; however, the first trimester is often ignored as during the early stages, most women do not even realise that they are pregnant.
from 28 weeks to the delivery
from 13 to 28 weeks
from conception to 12 weeks
