Understanding Pregnancy Weeks

Pregnancy is typically divided into three trimesters:

First trimester (weeks 1-12): The foundation of your baby's development, including organ formation and early growth.
Second trimester (weeks 13-26): Rapid growth and development, with your baby gaining weight and becoming more active.
Third trimester (weeks 27-40): Preparation for birth, with your baby growing rapidly and practicing breathing movements.

Note

Pregnancy weeks are counted from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). The due date is typically calculated as 40 weeks after the LMP.
