Baby Stage During Pregnancy-How The Baby Develops

The different baby stages in the mother’s womb are now known to mankind. This is because of the tremendous advance in medicine. From the first trimester to the final stages of pregnancy, we know how the baby takes shape.

The First Trimester

In the first trimester, your baby’s eyes and ears begin to develop. The liver starts producing bile and urine is secreted. During this stage, your baby weighs about half an ounce. At this stage of pregnancy, you will feel nauseas and tire easily. Other pregnancy discomforts you may feel are frequent urination and constipation. You may gain a few pounds of weight during this phase of pregnancy.

The Second Trimester

By the end of this trimester, all your baby’s vital organs, like the heart, the kidneys, and lungs will be formed. It will also be able to open and close its eyes and the sex organs will begin to form. Its digestive system also begins to function during the second trimester.

Your feelings of nausea and tiredness will subside by this time and by the fifth month; you will even be able to feel your baby move.

The Third Trimester

In this final phase of pregnancy, your baby develops rapidly. The vital organs take shape and the five senses develop. Your baby will soon be able to recognize your voice from inside the womb. As you near the end of your pregnancy, your baby will drop into your lower abdomen or take the birth position.

It is imperative to visit the doctor regularly, at least twice a week in the initial stages of the third trimester, and then every week as your pregnancy due date draws near. You might want to discuss with the doctor about labor and whether you will have a natural birth or not. Soon you will be ready for the delivery stage of pregnancy
