What is a Trimester in Pregnancy?
Pregnancy is divided into three trimesters, each lasting approximately three months:
- First Trimester (Weeks 1-12): Early fetal development and risk assessment
- Second Trimester (Weeks 13-26): Growth monitoring and anomaly screening
- Third Trimester (Weeks 27-40): Delivery planning and final-stage monitoring
Regular medical supervision during each trimester helps identify and manage potential risks such as gestational diabetes, hypertension, fetal growth concerns, or maternal complications.
Why Monitoring Each Trimester Is Important
Monitoring each trimester is key to a safe and healthy pregnancy. Regular check-ups help track your baby's growth and manage maternal health.
