It's simple: 3 trimesters, 3 months each. First trimester is all about survival and nausea, second is when you actually feel human again, and third is when you're just waiting to deliver. You've got this!
Pregnancy is divided into three trimesters, each lasting about 3 months. First is week 1-12, second is 13-26, and third is 27 till birth. Your doctor will explain the specific scans and tests needed for each stage.
Oh, those nine months are broken into three blocks of 3 months each. I used to worry about what happens in each trimester constantly! Just take it step by step, each phase has its own beautiful changes.
There are three trimesters in total, each lasting around 12 to 14 weeks. They mark different growth stages for your baby. Don't worry, you will get used to the terms soon.
Think of it as three phases: Phase 1 (1-12 weeks) is for organ development, Phase 2 (13-27 weeks) is the golden period where morning sickness stops, and Phase 3 (28 weeks onwards) is the growth spurt. It's that simple!
