Pregnancy is a miraculous, but often scary, part of life. Part of the trepidation of pregnancy is not knowing what happens to your body during your nine months of life creation. Below is your pregnancy, week by week. Keep in mind that everyone is different, and fetal development varies.
Pregnancy Week By Week 1-4: Conception occurs. Week 1 starts at your last menstrual period, and week 4 marks the fertilization of the egg.
Pregnancy Week By Week 5-8: Your period is late, and you might suspect that you're pregnant. Now would be the time to take a pregnancy test, which would be fairly accurate by this stage. By week 6, your baby's heartbeat has begun. By week 7, morning sickness might have set in. By week 8, arms and legs will start to develop.
Pregnancy Week By Week 9-12: At this stage, your body continues to adjust to changes. In week 10, the baby begins to move inside the womb, although it's not yet noticeable. By the following week, it's officially called a fetus. Week 12, morning sickness begins to subside.

Pregnancy Week By Week 13-16: In week 13, it's possible to determine the baby's gender, although with a moderate degree of accuracy. In week 14, you should be able to hear baby's heartbeat via Doppler. You might notice that the baby is sucking his or her thumb on an ultrasound in week 15. At the end of this period, you might feel the baby moving as his bones begin to harden.
Pregnancy Week By Week 17-20: By now, the organs are really beginning to develop. Ultrasound becomes more accurate in determining gender. The baby is covered with fine hair called lanugo.
Pregnancy Week By Week 21-24: By week 21, your baby practices its breathing for when he or she is born. You might start feeling minor contractions. By week 24, your baby begins to deposit brown fat in order to regulate its temperature in preparation for birth.
Pregnancy Week By Week 24-28: The uterus is beginning to get crowded, and baby's movements aren't as wild as before. The baby can sense lightness and darkness in the uterus, and can also hear sounds from the outside world. It's akin to hearing sounds while submerged in a swimming pool.
Pregnancy Week By Week 29-32: Baby's head is growing in proportion to its body. The eyes begin to move in its socket. The brain is growing rapidly. By week 32, the only major organ not fully developing is the lungs.
Pregnancy Week By Week 33-36: By week 33, the baby can close and open its eyes. Its fingernails grow to the tips, and might even need a cutting by birth! By week 36, the baby can weigh up to 4 pounds and be as long as 16 inches.
Pregnancy Week By Week 37-40: The major organs have been fully developed for a little while now, and the lungs prepare for birth by secreting surfactant to help its expansion at birth. The baby can come at any point in this stage. Actual deliver can vary as many as 2 weeks before or after your expected due date. The time has come to deliver...good luck!
