Typical Pregnancy Timeline
1
First Trimester (Weeks 1-12)
Ideally, you should schedule your first prenatal appointment. Major organs begin to form.
2
Second Trimester (Weeks 13-26)
Often called the "honeymoon phase" as nausea subsides. You may find out the baby's gender around week 20.
3
Third Trimester (Weeks 27-40)
The baby grows rapidly. You'll prepare for birth and may experience Braxton Hicks contractions.
Important Note
Due dates are estimates—only about 5% of babies are born on their exact due date. Most are born between weeks 38 and 42.
