The Miracle of Pregnancy: Step-by-Step

Pregnancy begins when a fertilized egg successfully implants in the uterus.
The body immediately starts producing hCG — the hormone detected in pregnancy tests.
The placenta forms to deliver oxygen and nutrients from mother to baby.
The embryo’s heart starts beating around week 6 of pregnancy.
Organs begin forming in the first trimester — the most delicate stage.
By the second trimester, the fetus can move and hear sounds.
The third trimester is all about growth, weight gain, and lung development.
Blood volume in the mother increases by up to 50%.
Hormones help relax muscles and ligaments to prepare for birth.
Every pregnancy is a unique symphony of biology, timing, and adaptation.
