Our pregnancy calendar is a detailed guide describing what happens during each week of a pregnancy.

A pregnancy calendar is the perfect way to keep an eye on a baby’s progress and is especially useful for first time mothers. It’s a great resource for pregnant women providing a chronological record of the weekly changes a woman will undergo during the 40 weeks of pregnancy. The pregnancy calendar is not intended to be a substitute for adequate medical treatment, but is wonderful for getting some quick advice or information when a physician is not readily available to answer any questions.

Pregnancy Calendar – three trimesters
It can be difficult to know exactly when a woman falls pregnant, and the start date of a pregnancy calendar is usually estimated. A pregnancy is divided into trimesters: the first trimester is from week 1 to the end of week 12, the second trimester is from week 13 to the end of week 26, and the third trimester is from week 27 to the end of the pregnancy.

The first trimester of the pregnancy calendar lasts for 12 weeks and is the most critical part of the baby's development. By the end of the first trimester the task of growing new body structures will be complete. During the second trimester of the pregnancy calendar is a period in which the uterus grows significantly. The period from the twenty-sixth week to the birth of the child is known as the third trimester. This last stage of pregnancy prepares the baby for the arrival to this world.

Pregnancy Challenges
Pregnancy is an exciting time and a great opportunity to learn about a child's growth and development. Pregnancy can also be physically demanding – and a sometimes scary but very special time in a woman’s life. It is also a time when parents may have many fears regarding the health of their baby, the progression of pregnancy, and the delivery. The more educated mothers can be about the experience, the less fear they will have and the more likely they will see the whole experience as a wondrous miracle.

Pregnancy Advice
The information in our Pregnancy Calendar is not medical advice and should not be substituted for the advice and care of a qualified healthcare professional. By following a doctor’s advice with regards to the pregnancy calendar, mothers will find that they are giving their pregnancy the best possible chance to proceed along lines which are safe.

Our Pregnancy Calendar is a great traveling companion on the exciting journey into motherhood. The weekly pregnancy calendar is an effective way of keeping pace with a pregnancy and is just one excellent way to make the most of this magical time.
