Understanding Pregnancy and Trimesters
Pregnancy is defined as the period in which the fetus is developed inside the womb or uterus of woman. It usually lasts around 40 weeks, or over 9 months, calculated from the last menstrual period to the day of delivery. Overall pregnancy is divided into three segments by healthcare providers, known as trimesters.
| Trimester | Period |
|---|---|
| First Trimester | Week 1 to 12 |
| Second Trimester | Week 12 to 28 |
| Third Trimester | Week 29 to 40 |
Types of Pregnancies
Women can have different types of pregnancies, including:
- Intrauterine Pregnancy– considered a normal pregnancy, in which the fertilized egg implants in the uterus and starts developing.
- Breech Pregnancy– in which baby is in a head-up position (instead of head-down position) in the uterus.
- Multiple Pregnancy– where multiple babies are carried at the same time, like twins or triplets.
- High Risk Pregnancy– in which the mother and the baby have increased risk of experiencing potential complication either before, during or after the delivery.
- Ectopic Pregnancy– where the fertilized egg attached itself to the fallopian tubes, and sometimes to cervix or abdominal cavity.
- Chemical Pregnancy– it is a spontaneous and very early miscarriage, that takes place by fifth week of pregnancy.
