All About You!
First Trimester
It is important to know what stages your baby will go through during your pregnancy.
It is also important to know what you will go though.
Fatigues
You will most likely be very tired during the first trimester of your pregnancy.
You should take plenty of time out to rest during this period.
If you feel like having a sleep during the day, try to do so.
Breast Changes
Breast changes can begin quite early in pregnancy with increasing levels of estrogen
and progesterone. You may notice nipples become darker, and the breasts feel larger,
heavier and quite sore to touch. Wearing a comfortable bra can help alleviate some
of the discomfort.
Frequent Urination
You will probably find yourself going to the bathroom a lot as soon as 1 week after
conception. As the uterus grows, it puts pressure on the bladder, causing you to
go to the bathroom.
Morning Sickness
Although you may have heard of morning sickness, you might not know it can come
at any time. No matter what time, you may find some crackers or biscuits help.
