One benefit that you can get from monitoring your pregnancy on a weekly basis is that you will be able to understand the process you are in much better. In relation to this, if ever a problem starts to surface, you will be able to know it early on and treat it accordingly. You will be able to monitor properly the different stages of your pregnancy by keeping a pregnancy calendar.
First of all, the weeks of your pregnancy can be divided into four stages; the first of which is the first trimester. The first week up to the fourteenth week falls under this first trimester; within this stage includes the time when the egg is fertilized and also the embryo’s development. This will really be a tough stage for you considering the fact that there will be a lot of changes happening in your body. Not to mention, different pregnancy symptoms that will surface in each and every week of your pregnancy.
On the other hand, the second trimester will cover the fifteenth up to the twenty-sixth month and as compared to the first trimester, it is much more pleasant. The pleasantness will come from the fact that all the symptoms that you will encounter are extremely mild that you will still find the ability to relax. The only prominent thing you will notice in the middle of this trimester is that your belly will continue to grow rapidly since when the second trimester ends, the development of the baby will be completely finished.
The last trimester of your pregnancy will occur on the 27th up to the 40th week where your baby will become chubbier and will develop more hair. By this time, you should know that all of your baby’s organs are already functioning well, in exception to the lungs and brain that are still developing until the last week of your pregnancy. It is also a good thing to know that your baby can now hear sounds from the outside world that is why if you want to tell your baby how much you love him/her, you can already do so.
Keeping notes of your pregnancy will be a good thing not just because you will be able to cherish your memories while pregnant, but you will also be able to know everything about your child that you can use in case of emergencies in the future.
