This is the time from<strong> the first day of your last period to the day your baby is born.<\/strong> Of course, not every woman is the same, nor is the pregnancy so some may end sooner and some can end later.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>pregnancy is divided in three trimesters<\/strong>, each three months long.<\/p>\n<h2>First Trimester<\/h2>\n<p>An early sign of pregnancy is your missed period. By then, you will already be at least 5 or 6 weeks pregnant. You have to understand that <strong>this will probably only be the week two of your baby\u2019s development<\/strong>, but it will depend on the day of conception.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to confirm a pregnancy is to get a blood test but you can also do it through a home pregnancy test. However, a home pregnancy test will be <strong>the most accurate<\/strong> if you take it at least a week after your missed period or later.<\/p>\n<p>You will also experience other symptoms, aside from your missed period. For instance, you may feel:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tired or fatigued more often<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Nauseous<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Cravings (even some strange ones)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Tender breasts<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mood swings<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Heartburn<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Headache<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight changes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep in mind that these changes are <strong>most likely not going to happen right away<\/strong>, but rather a few weeks in, probably around the time of your missed period or later. You can <strong>also have no symptoms<\/strong> or have all of them, have too much of one and so on. Variations in symptoms are quite normal.<\/p>\n<p>Your baby is experiencing plenty of changes too, even when you\u2019re <strong>four weeks pregnant.<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Their nervous system will form<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The heart will form<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The legs and arms will start to form<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At week 6 to 8:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>All of the major organs will begin to form<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Heart will start to beat<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Legs and arms will grow longer<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Develop buds for toes and fingers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sex organs will begin to form<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Development of more facial features<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, at 12 weeks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Nerves and muscles will work together<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sex organs are defined (still may be too small to tell until 18-20 weeks)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Eyelids will form and close<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is the end of the first trimester and the start of your second trimester.<\/p>\n<h2>Second Trimester<\/h2>\n<p>Most women find this part <strong>much easier and more comfortable<\/strong>, especially if they had a rough first trimester. Usually, nausea stops and the fatigue lessens. However, your bump will grow which may be a bit uncomfortable at first, until you get used to it. Some actions will be a lot harder than before &#8211; tying your shoelaces or picking something up.<\/p>\n<p>But <strong>feeling your baby move<\/strong> &#8211; which also happens in the second trimester &#8211; is an<strong> amazing<\/strong> highlight.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are more things you may feel in your second trimester:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Aches in your back, abdomen, groin and thighs<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Round ligament pains as your uterus grows<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Stretch marks<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Linea nigra or trail of hair appearing down your abdomen<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Swelling in your ankles or your face<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While this is happening to you, your baby is also going through many changes. This is the time of rapid growth and development.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Skin will begin to form, transitioning baby from translucent to typical skin<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Musculoskeletal system will continue to form<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>They will start making sucking movements and even beginning to suck their thumb<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Later, at week 20, your baby will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Your baby will be more active and you will feel it moving<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Develop fine, lanugo hair all over their body<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>They will get eyebrows, fingernails, eyelashes and toenails<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Be able to hear and practice swallowing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At week 24, they will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Develop taste buds and even taste flavors from mom's food<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Start to form hair, which may or may not fall out after labor<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Lungs will form, although they won\u2019t work yet<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>They will have a sleep cycle; you may feel a regular schedule of quiet and movement times<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Develop distinctly unique footprints and fingerprints<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After week 27, your third trimester will begin.<\/p>\n<h2>Third Trimester<\/h2>\n<p>This is the <strong>final stage<\/strong> of your pregnancy. You may continue to feel uncomfortable with certain movements as the baby grows. Most pregnant women will also have to urinate more frequently because of the pressure.<\/p>\n<p>You may also feel symptoms like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Swelling<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Hemorrhoids<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Tender breasts<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Watery colostrum<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Feeling baby settle lower in your abdomen<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>You may get false contractions, also called Braxton Hicks<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Shortness of breath<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your baby at around 32 weeks will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Have completely formed bones<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Eyes that open and close<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Lanugo will start to fall off<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At week 36, they will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Have a waxy coating called\u00a0<b>vernix<\/b>\u00a0caseosa, which helps protect their delicate skin<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Increased amount of body fat<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Be close to birth size<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Their movements may seem less forceful but you will feel them<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Beyond week 37, your baby is ready to be born and considered full term. However, <strong>the longer they stay inside your belly the better,<\/strong> at least until 40 weeks.

But <strong>pregnancy acne<\/strong> can be an annoying effect of pregnancy. It affects your skin health and it can seriously ruin your mood, especially if you were hoping for that dewy pregnancy glow!<\/p>\n<p>Pregnancy acne <strong>often happens in the first and second trimester<\/strong> and it\u2019s caused by the <strong>increase in hormones.<\/strong> Women who often get breakouts on their periods will be more likely to get pregnancy acne.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some tips to treat them in a natural way:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apple cider vinegar<\/strong> &#8211; Mix one part ACV with three parts water and<strong> create a toner<\/strong> that will clear your face naturally. Tone your face with this<strong> every morning and evening<\/strong> to clear it from the excess oils and dirt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Baking soda<\/strong> &#8211; Mix one tablespoon of baking soda with one tablespoons of water and use it on your face for spot treatments. It will dry your pimples and help them go away faster.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Witch Hazel<\/strong> &#8211; Use witch hazel to treat acne with powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties. Look for alcohol-free formulas, to avoid stripping your skin of necessary oils. As an added bonus, witch hazel will come in very handy for treating any post-labor stiches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honey<\/strong> &#8211; Since honey has antibacterial and antiseptic properties it can soothe your skin and help you lose those acne. Rinse your face with warm water and then apply honey to your face. Leave it on for a while and then rinse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coconut oil<\/strong> &#8211; Because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties, it can be really great for your face. Use it as a moisturizer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Oatmeal and cucumber<\/strong> &#8211; Both of these have soothing properties that can help you heal from acne. Blend these ingredients in a blender and apply them as a mask. Then rinse after 10 or 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>You can also try a <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/diy-face-mask\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DIY face mask<\/a> as well as these tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t over-wash your skin &#8211; This will strip it from natural moisture. Wash twice daily with a gentle cleanser and follow with toner.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid scrubbing &#8211; Gentle exfoliation is better than scrubbing, which can irritate and even spread acne bacteria.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t scratch or pop these pimples. Try spot treatments and daily cleansing.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay hydrated with water and eat a healthy diet.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Rest, relax and avoid stress as much as you can.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6122\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Stay-Healthy-Happy-Pregnancy-Trimesters_Pregnancy-Depression.jpg\" alt=\"Stay Healthy & Happy Pregnancy Trimesters_Pregnancy Depression\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Stay-Healthy-Happy-Pregnancy-Trimesters_Pregnancy-Depression.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Stay-Healthy-Happy-Pregnancy-Trimesters_Pregnancy-Depression-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Stay-Healthy-Happy-Pregnancy-Trimesters_Pregnancy-Depression-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Stay-Healthy-Happy-Pregnancy-Trimesters_Pregnancy-Depression-192x96.jpg 192w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Stay-Healthy-Happy-Pregnancy-Trimesters_Pregnancy-Depression-384x192.jpg 384w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Stay-Healthy-Happy-Pregnancy-Trimesters_Pregnancy-Depression-561x281.jpg 561w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Stay-Healthy-Happy-Pregnancy-Trimesters_Pregnancy-Depression-364x182.jpg 364w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Stay-Healthy-Happy-Pregnancy-Trimesters_Pregnancy-Depression-758x379.jpg 758w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Stay-Healthy-Happy-Pregnancy-Trimesters_Pregnancy-Depression-608x304.jpg 608w, https:\/\/naturalwire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Stay-Healthy-Happy-Pregnancy-Trimesters_Pregnancy-Depression-313x157.jpg 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>How Do You Deal with Pregnancy Depression?<\/h3>\n<p>While pregnancy should be a happy and joyful time, the<strong> hormones often makes us feel the opposite.<\/strong> Many women can <strong>feel overwhelmed<\/strong> with the sudden responsibility for another life and the countless sacrifices, struggles, and unknown challenges coming in the near future.
