How Your Baby Grows During Pregnancy

Your baby goes through several stages of growth and development during pregnancy:

First trimester (1-12 weeks): The embryo develops into a fetus, with rapid growth in the first few weeks
Second trimester (13-28 weeks): Major organs form, and the baby grows quickly in size and weight
Third trimester (29-40 weeks): The baby continues to grow rapidly, preparing for birth

Every pregnancy is unique, and growth rates can vary. These are average estimates based on general development patterns.

Understanding Baby Measurements

Key measurements that track your baby's growth:

Crown-heel length: From the top of the head to the bottom of the feet
Head circumference: Around the largest part of the head
Abdominal circumference: Around the belly, just above the belly button

These measurements help healthcare providers monitor your baby's development and growth rate.
