Pregnancy months

Discover all the changes during pregnancy and the changes in your baby

It takes about nine months from the time your baby is an embryo and the pregnancy test is positive to the time your baby is born. Every month, the baby’s body continues developing and growing. Your body also evolves and changes to adapt to pregnancy. Here we’ll explain, month by month, what those changes are like, the discomfort you may experience, which symptoms are common and which are not. Ideally, you should divide your pregnancy into weeks so you can monitor your pregnancy more closely.
