Congratulations on this beautiful phase of your life!
These 40 weeks will cause a lot of changes in your
body and you can understand how your baby is

Women usually experience a wide range of
symptoms as they progress in their pregnancy week

For most women, a missed period is the first sign of
entering this wonderful phase.

The other early signs include frequent urination,
mood swings, fatigue, nausea and tender or swollen
breasts.

week are becoming noticeable.

heartburn, frequent urination and nausea that get

The heart also beats faster than normal in order to
carry the extra blood.
The symptoms continue from the second month and
they can get worse during the third month.
Especially for nausea, the overall condition can
worsen. Breasts also grow and change during this
time.

This is a time of comfort since signs of early
pregnancy start to disappear. Nausea and vomiting
also reduce, making it easier for the mom-to-be.
There can be some digestive problems like
heartburn and constipation. You might also
experience shortness of breath or faster breaths due
to change in blood flow. You might also feel dizzy or
faint due to the changes in blood vessels.
13-16 Weeks

This is the time to actually feel your baby inside
you. Women start to feel the foetal movements first
time during the fifth month.
It feels like butterflies in the stomach and is referred
to as quickening. You might experience
constipation, dizziness, shortness of breath and
heartburn. Breasts can become 2 cups larger in size
during this period.

The pregnancy symptoms week by week continue
during this time similar to the fourth and fifth
month. Some women may experience Braxton-Hicks
contraction.
This is a practice of the uterus to get ready for
labour and delivery. Breasts will also start
producing tiny drops of milk during these weeks.

expand. The feeling of dizziness might reduce.
You can experience symptoms similar to the
previous weeks. Back pain is a common problem
during the seventh month of pregnancy.

Since the uterus is constantly expanding, women
start to feel tired easily and have breathing
problems. They are also susceptible to varicose
veins or haemorrhoids.
You might also notice stretch marks where skin has
expanded. The effect of hormones can cause your
hair to look healthier.

During the end of pregnancy, the uterus expands
right from the pelvis to the rib cage.
The symptoms depend on when the foetus drops
down to the lower part of the uterus. The cervix
dilates to get prepared for delivery.
Women might feel sharp pain in their vagina when
the cervix is dilating.

After delivery, placenta and other tissues of the
woman’s body also come out; this is known as the
afterbirth.
Pregnancy week by week stages and symptoms can
be a little confusing since they might be different for
some women.
If you feel prolonged pain or trouble in any part of
your body, you must immediately visit your doctor.
Otherwise, enjoy these pregnancy stages week and
week and wait for the arrival of your beautiful
baby!
