1st Month Pregnancy: changes inside and out

Embryonic Development: After fertilization, the fertilized egg will travel from the fallopian tube to the uterus and settle in the uterine wall. The egg splits into a number of cells and becomes an embryo. After about eight weeks, the embryo has developed a small spine and limbs, and the brain, eyes, and ears begin to grow. Changes in your body: If you find out that you are pregnant, you may react differently than you expected. In fact, your feelings can differ from moment to moment. These emotional changes are partly caused by pregnancy hormones and are completely normal. Allow yourself the peace and time to give these feelings a place. Aside from the symptoms listed above, you may not have many other physical changes. Also Read: Symptoms of 2nd Month Pregnancy

What are the pregnancy months?

Pregnancies last nine months, right? Well, about. Most pregnancies are about 40 weeks (almost 10 months) long, starting on the first day of your last menstrual cycle. Many babies are born a few weeks earlier or later and it is not always possible to determine the exact date on which your baby was processed. In addition, not every calendar month has the same number of days – in short, “nine months” is a rough guide. For this reason, pregnancies are usually counted in weeks rather than months, and reference is made to “week 12” or “week 32.” Reference is also made to the three “trimesters” of pregnancy:

• First Trimester: Weeks 1-13
• Second Trimester: Weeks 14-27
• Third Trimester: Week 28-42

How do you determine how many months you are pregnant? There are several ways to do this. It is usually assumed that you are pregnant for one month from weeks five to eight, in other words, the first weeks after your missed period and a few weeks after conception. Pregnancy calculator: If you are pregnant for a month, you probably want to know when to expect your little one. With the Pampers Pregnancy Calculator, you can make an estimate based on your last period or fertilization. If you have an irregular menstrual cycle or can’t remember exactly when your last period was, your doctor or midwife can assess how long you’ve been pregnant.

The 1st Month Pregnancy: checklist

Pregnant or not? To determine whether or not you are pregnant, you can take a pregnancy test at home. These tests are usually more accurate if they are taken a few days or even a week after the first day of your missed period. 

• Go to the doctor: Make an appointment with your doctor or midwife, who can tell for sure whether you are pregnant by measuring the presence of the pregnancy hormone hCG. In addition, they can guide you in making all prenatal appointments for the next nine months. 
• Nutrition: Talk to your doctor about healthy nutrition during pregnancy and which prenatal vitamins or supplements may be right for you. ● Focus on your health: Try to quit unhealthy habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol and try to reduce stress.
• Watch your gut: This is an emotional time and you can experience all kinds of emotions and physical symptoms. Get plenty of rest and talk to friends and family about how you are feeling.
