Basics About Pregnancy Week By Week

By Weeyiu Blakyiepie


The measurement of pregnancy week by week will not be the same for every female. Symptoms differ and fetal growth rates vary from woman to woman. Most of the first few weeks will be taken up with conception and implantation.

By your third month of pregnancy, your baby will measure about 4 inches and will weigh just over an ounce. If you were given the facility, you would be able to hear your baby's heartbeat. The baby will have small fingers, toes as well as soft nails. You will be suffering from bouts of vomiting or nausea. You will feel fatigued and may experience mood swings as well as headaches.

You will start feeling movement from your baby during the second trimester. Your baby will be able to hear voices by the fourth month. If you wish, you could find out your baby's gender at this stage. Your baby's weight will be approximately one pound and he will be about twelve inches long by the end of this trimester.

In the second trimester, your feelings of nausea and vomiting should subside. You will feel hungry more often and might start craving certain types of food. As constipation is a common pregnancy symptom, you should maintain a healthy eating plan and drink as much water as possible. You might start suffering with back pain during this period.

The baby will move and kick quite vigorously during the third trimester. It is during this period that your baby will grow suddenly. If he is born at this time, the chances of survival are good. You may be able to actually feel the baby's foot in your ribcage. In the last month of your pregnancy, your baby will gain approximately two pounds and might be approximately nineteen to twenty-one inches long.

At this stage you will have the need to urinate more frequently. This is because the baby's head will drop into the pelvic area in preparation for birth.
