8. As said previously, a pregnancy calculator can help guide you through your pregnancy.
9. It will tell you how your baby is developing each week, how your body will change each week, and new things that you may want to consider as your progress through your pregnancy.
10. If you are not already aware, there are three trimesters of pregnancy, each of which bring about different changes in mommy and baby.
11. Let’s take a brief, condensed, look at what you can expect throughout each trimester.
12. During the first trimester you will experience an amazing, yet invisible, transformation.
13. During this time, your hormones will begin to change drastically, causing many changes to your body.
14. During the first trimester, you are likely to experience symptoms such as breast tenderness, nausea (morning sickness), extreme fatigue, increased urination, heartburn, and constipation.
15. Luckily, as you pass into your second trimester, many of these symptoms will subside.
16. Unfortunately, while first trimester symptoms begin to subside, with the second trimester will come a whole new set of symptoms.
17. It is during the second trimester that you can expect your belly to begin growing.
18. You may even, if your lucky, be able to feel your baby moving around inside of your tummy!
19. You may also experience changes to your skin including flakiness and stretch marks.
20. In the third trimester, you are nearing the end of your pregnancy
21. Your belly is getting very large and you are now experiencing aches and pains in places you didn’t even know you had!
22. Rest is extremely important during the third trimester as you prepare to welcome your little one to the world.
23. During the third trimester, you will also need to start looking for signs of labour.
24. These include things such as Braxton Hicks contractions (false labour pains), the loss of your mucus plug, and the rupture of your membranes.
25. The above paragraphs are just the beginning of what you will find in a pregnancy week calculator.
26. A calculator will go in-depth to tell you exactly what to expect each week of your pregnancy.
27. Not only will it tell you what to expect with your body, but it will also take you through the development of your baby, as well as give you advice on how to ease symptoms and prepare for your big day!
