What to Expect in the First Trimester

August 12, 2025

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Pregnancy can be filled with emotions of joy, anxiety, nervousness and excitement. Many changes are happening daily – even if you don’t yet see or feel them. During the first trimester, the human body works overtime to grow new life which is why it can be the hardest trimester for some.

In this trimester, several major organs begin to develop for baby and you may begin to feel some hormonal changes. In fact, your body produces more estrogen during one pregnancy than it does during your entire life when you are not pregnant. This is why you may have symptoms of breast tenderness, nausea or vomiting, bloating, fatigue and more. The first

trimester lasts until the end of the 13^th week of pregnancy. By then, your baby will have fingers and toes and will have fully functioning urinary and digestive systems.

It is important to contact your OB/GYN as soon as you find out you’re a pregnant.
