Pregnancy And Childbirth Information, The Three Trimesters

Pregnancy is counted from the first day of your last menstrual period, which accounts for the extra time. Pregnancy and childbirth are a source of fascination for the human race. A common term you'll hear throughout your pregnancy is the term trimester. Your pregnancy is split into three trimesters.

While most miscarriages occur in the first trimester of pregnancy, many women have successful pregnancies on their first try.
Nausea is common during first trimester of pregnancy and while it's uncomfortable, it's a good sign of a progressing pregnancy. If you have questions about your pregnancy and childbirth, there are many resources online to help you.

Throughout your second trimester, you'll continue to visit your doctor once a month if your pregnancy is progressing normally.
