The first two weeks of pregnancy are flagged off by hormonal changes. But you will probably remain unaware till the fourth week. By week 5 your baby would have started developing its vital organs and by the following week its nervous system is growing at a rapid pace.
In the seventh week facial features begin to appear and by the weeks 8 and 9 the limbs grow longer. By the time you reach the 10th week any risk of malformation would have passed. The 11th week is marked by the baby’s fingers and toes separating and by the following week, the onset of your second trimester, its brain would have started producing hormones. By the 13th week you can expect a lot of changes with the teeth forming inside the gums and intestines developing. During week 14 stretch marks might appear on your abdomen and in week 15 your lungs are hard at work pumping into your infant’s blood. The following week your baby’s movements can be felt and in the next two weeks your size would have bloated.
By weeks 19 or 20 you would need to join birthing classes. Body aches start to vanish by the end of week 22 and by the next week you might feel false contractions. By the next couple of weeks you can feel the baby’s movements even more.
By the 28th week you would have entered the third trimester. In the next few weeks you might have difficulty sleeping as you appear visibly pregnant! You can also detect your kid’s sleep patterns. By week 38 you will feel a kind of electrical sensation in your pelvic region as your baby’s head drops down. In the next few weeks your body is preparing for labor and if all goes well, by week 42 you would have delivered!
