Pregnancy

Pregnancy is the period during which a baby develops inside the uterus, typically lasting around 40 weeks from the first day of the last menstrual period. It is divided into three stages called trimesters, with each stage bringing important physical and emotional changes.

Common pregnancy experiences may include nausea or vomiting, tiredness, breast tenderness, frequent urination, changes in appetite, mood changes, and back discomfort. Symptoms and experiences can vary considerably from person to person and may change as pregnancy progresses.

Regular antenatal (prenatal) care helps monitor the health of both the pregnant person and the developing baby. Routine check-ups, recommended tests and scans, appropriate nutrition, prescribed supplements or medicines, vaccinations when recommended, and discussions with a qualified healthcare professional are important parts of pregnancy care.
