First trimester (weeks 1 to 12)

The first trimester is a busy time. Your baby will go through important stages of development, and you’ll experience many changes of your own. You’ll probably feel excited, curious, exhausted, and, well, pregnant. But you definitely won’t be bored. Be sure to take good care of yourself, exercise, eat healthy, rest when you need to, and learn as much as you can during these action-packed 12 weeks.
