According to Mayo Clinic, some of the body changes you may feel include: – Tender, swollen breasts – Nausea (with or without vomiting) – Increased urination – Fatigue – Food cravings/aversions – Heartburn – Constipation
The first trimester is characterized as the first 12 weeks of your pregnancy, beginning on the first day of your last period.
The gestation period of a baby is about 40 weeks, counted from the first day of your last period. So, if you want to calculate when your baby is due, add 40 weeks to the first day of your last period.
Staying healthy will allow you to recover faster postpartum, and will also give you the stamina you need to be able to get through the sometime long, and intense labour.
