The pregnancy timeline is divided into 3 blocks which are known as trimesters. The first trimester includes the time from conception until 12 weeks of pregnancy where the body undergoes many changes.  There is a number of changes you may start experiencing. You will start to feel extremely tired, have an upset stomach (Morning Sickness), heartburn, mood swings and tender or swollen breasts.

Fortunately, most of these discomforts will go away as your pregnancy progresses. (Usually by weeks 12-14) for some women they might not feel any discomfort at all. (Lucky them!!). If you have been pregnant before, you might feel differently this time around by having different symptoms or none at all. Just as each woman is different, so is each pregnancy.

As your body changes, so will the need to ensure you look after yourself and maintain that pregnancy glow.  To give your baby a healthy start to life it is important to eat plenty of healthy foods throughout the pregnancy. For example, plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, sources of Calcium, Protein and Iron and also drinking plenty of water.

Prior to conception and once you are pregnant, lifestyle habits to stop or avoid during pregnancy are varied. They can include smoking and drinking alcohol.
