How the body develops with pregnancy:
First Trimester; What's happening in the first three months, the egg has been fertilized and is growing rapidly into layers of cells and implants in the wall of your womb. Your baby in this trimester grows the fastest than any other. By six weeks and heartbeat can be heard and by twelve your babies bones, muscles and organs have formed. This time is the biggest hormonal shift in your body. You can suffer from morning sickness/evening or even all day. You feel lethargic, emotional, tender breasts, headaches and over all hyper sensitive.
Second and Third Trimester; Things may have eased off a little in your 2nd and 3rd Trimesters. You are becoming a little more settled in yourself. Feeling more energy and perhaps less nausea and vomiting if you suffered from either or both. Definitely fewer mood swings and feeling a little more yourself. This is when we can focus a little more on preparation for the baby and have a little more energy to be productive. Physically the baby is growing in size so you are becoming bigger and heavier. This in turn can create a few physical changes in your body.
Skin Changes
Dry, Itchy belly
Leg pain, Cramps
Ankles, hands and face swelling/Edema
Aching back, Pelvis and Hips
Stomach pain
