Pregnancy is that gift of God to women wherein she is in a position to deliver or give life to a new offspring. It is the most joyous moment in a woman’s life.
The baby is born approximately 38 weeks after fertilisation has occurred, that is 38 weeks after the ovum and the sperm have met in the woman’s ovaries. The possibilities of delivery of a child may be a single child, twins, triplets or quadruplets rarely.
Stages in pregnancy:
Generally the pregnancy is divided into 3 trimesters, viz. the first trimester, the second trimester and the third trimester.
First Trimester:

Second Trimester:
Second trimester is somewhere when the woman reaches her 4th month of pregnancy the mental status of the woman in this stage is very active.
Third trimester:
Third trimester is the phase when the baby actually starts growing and develops all features. It is at this time that there is major weight gain by the women.
Week 30:
It is in the third trimester that the pregnancy reaches week 30. During 30, the baby is almost grown and developed with all features and weighs about 15-17 pounds and is about 14-18 inches long.
Growth:
The growth doesn’t stop there. The baby continues to grow and occupies almost the entire uterus. The woman usually gets tired during this period of pregnancy since the baby has almost taken the entire area in the belly and she starts feeling heavier and heavier day by day. In this period swelling of ankles and legs are seen due to excess stress.
