1st Trimester

Body changes during pregnancy are quite common and normal. The first trimester starts on the first day of your last period and lasts until the 12th week. A lot of physiological and hormonal changes take place during this phase as the baby grows the fastest in this trimester. Starting from a fertilized egg, the baby’s bones, muscles, and organs form by the 12th week.

The first trimester requires a variety of lab investigations and tests, which our skilled team of doctors at Motherhood is well equipped with.

What the First Trimester Involves

The first trimester covers weeks one to twelve of pregnancy, a period of rapid development for your baby and considerable adjustment for you. First trimester symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, and breast tenderness are common, though they vary widely between women, and some notice very little at all while others find this the most physically demanding stretch of pregnancy.
