Breakdown of trimesters

If you don’t know your pregnancy consists of 3 trimesters. The breakdown is in weeks. The first trimester is from the day of conception to the end of 12 weeks. The second trimester starts at 13 weeks and ends at 26 weeks. Your third trimester begins at the beginning of 27 weeks and goes to the end of your pregnancy. 

First trimester!

As you know by now your first trimester goes from the date of conception to the end of week 12 in your pregnancy. The first trimester is the hardest and most difficult because you’re getting used to new body changes, new hormones, and worst of all… you have morning sickness. 

Once you find out you’re pregnant you should confirm it with a home pregnancy test. If your result is positive I highly recommend you call your doctor and tell them right away so you don’t experience any delays in your pregnancy process. You may get asked to come and take a urine test to confirm. For me, this was not the case. My doctors set up my first appointment to be around 8 weeks and it was just a check-up to see how I was doing in the pregnancy. I was given 2 different types of medication to help with my morning sickness and given a referral for my first ultrasound appointment. Along with a bunch of advice and cautions to be on the lookout for. The first trimester is the hardest on your body considering all the changes it is going through. This is usually the highest time of miscarriage or problems that will arise. The worst of this is excessive nausea or vomiting. It may follow you into your second trimester so beware and be ready. There are so many different things you can try to help with morning sickness (btw it happens all day not just morning :))

some of the things you can try to help with morning sickness are: 

Preggie Pop Drops

Pink Stork Morning Sickness Sweets

Pink Stork Mist
