Pregnancy Month by Month - What to expect during the months of pregnancy

 

Pregnancy Month by Month

 

1 month pregnant (Weeks 1-4)

First Month Pregnant: Your belly will be the same size as pre-pregnancy, but you may experience some fatigue, breast engorgement and frequent urination, which will fade in time. Do not worry. This is a natural process.

 

2 months pregnant (Weeks 5-8)

 

 

Second Month Pregnant: The fetus head is growing more rapidly than the other parts as the brain has a crucial role in regulating the function of all the vital organs. Consult your doctor before taking any drugs.
