How to spend the early stages of pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy, many people may not even realize they are pregnant or may continue their lives as usual. However, the early stages of pregnancy are a very important time for the baby. Central organs are formed during this period. To avoid harming the fetus, once you find out you are pregnant, you should at least refrain from the following things.

Once you find out you're pregnant, you should visit a clinic immediately. It's reassuring to get advice on things to be careful about in your daily life. If you experience bleeding or abdominal bloating, you should also see a doctor right away.

When exactly is the first trimester of pregnancy?

Pregnancy is divided into three stages, approximately 12 weeks (3 months) each: "early," "mid," and "late." Pregnancy weeks are counted from the first day of the last menstrual period as week 0 and day 0. Roughly speaking, the time when the fertilized egg implants and pregnancy is established is week 3 of pregnancy, and the time when a pregnancy test taken one week after the expected date of menstruation shows a positive result is week 5 of pregnancy.
