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. the third trimester is from week 27 to the end of the pregnancy.
Preterm babies born between 31 and 34 weeks gestation have a greater than 95% chance of survival. Preterm babies have a better chance of surviving if they are cared for in a specialized nursery. The outcome for a preterm baby depends a lot on how early he or she is born.
The third trimester of pregnancy begins at 28 weeks and ends at 40 weeks (or until you give birth). Notable third trimester symptoms include shortness of breath, false contractions and peeing more often. Healthcare providers recommend more frequent prenatal checkups to monitor you and the fetus.
You may not have a choice about when to have your baby. If there are problems with your pregnancy or your baby's health, you may need to have your baby early. But if you have a choice and you're planning to schedule your baby's birth, it's recommended to wait until at least 39 weeks.
Babies born before 34 weeks of pregnancy are mostly likely to have health problems, but babies born between 34 and 37 weeks of pregnancy are also at increased risk of having health problems related to preterm birth. Some preterm babies need to spend time in a hospital's newborn intensive care unit (also called NICU).

Week 33: The fetus's bones are hardening, with exception of the cranial bones around its brain, which needs to be soft to descend the birth canal. Week 34: The vernix that protects the fetus's skin starts to get thicker.
By the 36th week, a baby's body is fully formed, and they're mostly just getting big enough to survive outside the womb. At 34 weeks, many of the baby's bodily systems aren't mature enough, especially the lungs. Lungs don't reach their full formation until around 36 weeks.
If you're a first-time mom, your baby will probably drop two to four weeks before labor, perhaps even earlier. If you've had a baby before, your baby may not drop until your labor starts. It's impossible to predict exactly when this will happen, because each pregnancy is unique.
It might be a good idea to get your hospital bag packed at least 3 weeks ahead of the due date, so that you're all ready to go if your baby decides to make an early appearance.
Braxton Hicks contractions are sporadic contractions and relaxation of the uterine muscle. Sometimes, they are referred to as prodromal or “false labor" pains. It is believed they start around 6 weeks gestation but usually are not felt until the second or third trimester of the pregnancy.
While it seems like figuring out your due date should be easy (nine months, right?), the truth is only about 5% of babies arrive on their expected due dates. And in fact, only 35% will arrive the week of their estimated due date.
Any preemie that's born earlier than 34 weeks gestation should spend several weeks in the NICU. On average, doctors recommend preemies stay in the NICU until three to four weeks before what their regular due date would have been.
28 to 40+ weeks pregnant.
Most pregnant women gain between 10kg and 12.5kg (22lb to 28lb), putting on most of the weight after week 20. Much of the extra weight is due to your baby growing, but your body will also be storing fat, ready to make breast milk after your baby is born.
What pregnancy trimester is the hardest? For many women, the first trimester of pregnancy is often the hardest. During this period, your body is going through a major transformation and needs time to adjust to the changes.
When it comes to sharing the news with peripheral friends, colleagues, or on social media, Dr. Sabato suggests waiting toward the end of the first trimester or beginning of the second trimester.
Your baby, or foetus, is around 43.7cm long from head to heel. That's approximately the size of a pineapple. Your baby's brain and nervous system are now fully developed. The bones are hardening up, apart from the skull bones, which will stay soft and separated until the baby's around 12 to 18 months old.

Too much caffeine in pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage or your baby being born with a low birthweight. If you're pregnant, do not have more than 200 milligrams (200mg) of caffeine a day – that's about the same as 2 mugs of tea, plus 1 can of cola.
Babies born before 34 weeks go to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who weigh more than 1,800 grams (about 4 pounds) may be able to go to the Progressive Care Nursery (PCN).
