Your First Trimester: What to Expect Week by Week

Week 1-4: The Beginning

The first trimester begins with conception. During weeks 1-4, your baby is a cluster of cells rapidly dividing and implanting into your uterine wall.

Week 5-8: Early Development

By week 5, your baby heart begins to beat. By week 8, all major organs have started forming. Morning sickness and fatigue often begin now.

Week 9-12: Growing Fast

Your baby grows from the size of a grape to a plum. Fingers and toes are forming, and facial features are becoming distinct.

Common Symptoms

  • Morning sickness: Eat small, frequent meals.
  • Fatigue: Rest as much as possible.
  • Mood swings: Hormonal changes affect your emotions.

What To Do

  • Schedule your first prenatal appointment
  • Start prenatal vitamins with folic acid
  • Avoid alcohol and smoking
