PREGNANCY JOURNEY
The Road of Pregnancy
Congratulations mama-to-be. We're right by your side in this journey of holding life's greatest miracle in the palm of your hands.
Guiding you through each trimester of your pregnancy
Soon after the fertilization process the zygote travels through the uterus to be implanted which marks the beginning of a new life creation.
The Joy Begins
The 1st trimester begins on the first day of your last menstrual period day and will last until the end of week 12 or 13.

Tiny embryo lays the groundwork
In the first month of pregnancy, the embryo consists of the first two layers of cells that form the foundation for all organs and body parts of your baby. Touch is the first sense to develop in the womb. It starts long before the baby develops the sense of hearing or seeing things.

After two months, things start to take shape! The eyelids and nose tips start forming at the completion of the second month. Your baby also starts wiggling those tiny webbed fingers into unique fingerprints. An ultrasound can detect a feeble heartbeat coming along.

Exciting news! The embryo is now turning into a fetus. Bones are hardening and the development of the external sex organs marks an important milestone. The umbilical cord connects the fetus to the placenta, providing nutrients and oxygen to the developing fetus.
Common Symptoms
During this time, your body undergoes important changes as it prepares to nourish, and protect your developing fetus.
Sore breasts
Fatigue
Morning sickness
Constant urination
Nausea
Headaches
Mood swings
Food cravings

Lifestyle tweaks
Make sure to create a lifestyle that supports your pregnancy - make time to exercise, and have a well balanced diet. Physical activity during this time goes a long way.
Pick your medical partner
Next up, the excitement of booking your first obstetrician/ gynecologist visit - locking in on your preferred medical expert is key!
Up your supplements game
If you haven’t already, start taking prenatal vitamins immediately, as doing so at the beginning of the first trimester, helps ensure that your baby is getting the extra nourishment it needs to develop well.
Don't even think about these!
Alcohol, hot baths, saunas, smoking, and raw meats are some absolute no-nos.

The Golden Period
The second trimester usually starts from week 14 and ends towards the end of week 27.

Apart from the developed eyebrows and eyelids, your baby may even start expressing themselves through small movements you can feel. The fifth month is also the time when the baby starts yawning and sucking on the thumb.

By the sixth month, little hiccups are felt by the mum. It’s around this time too that the baby has developed ear canals and can respond to sounds. Make sure to share all the heartfelt messages that will be carried with them forever.

The ones that don't make the cut
Lastly, avoid exerting yourself physically and mentally, and continue to ditch alcohol, caffeine, smoking, raw foods and unpasteurized dairy products.
The Final Countdown Starts
The third trimester kicks off at week 27 and lasts until the big due date at the end of week 40. Some women may go up to two weeks over.

Baby gets busy with the brain (15 inches)
During the 7th month of pregnancy, babies weigh almost 1 Kg and experts believe that their eyesight starts to develop - so not only can your little one close his or her eyes in response to light from outside the womb but your baby may also be able to see what’s around them. Incredible!
Wait over, for that baby weight (2.2 kgs)
With a set of well-developed lungs, the baby has started putting on baby fat making him heavier and rounder. Babies may come out looking all smooth and cute. But, while in the womb, the babies are covered in a fine layer of hair called lanugo that sheds only after 32 weeks (8 months approx).
Baby ready for birth, are you?
The baby is almost here! The ninth month is when the baby has developed a complete organ system and is prepared to live outside the mother’s womb. Throughout pregnancy, the baby and the mother’s uterus grow together. And, when the baby outgrows the uterus, labor is triggered by the hormones; which is why some babies arrive earlier with healthy weight and some require a little more time to grow.
Common Symptoms
During this time, your body undergoes important changes as it prepares to nourish, and protect your developing fetus.
Braxton hicks contractions
Backaches
Shortness of breath
Varicose veins
Heartburn
Frequent urination
Swollen feet and ankles
Itchy skin
