Pregnancy is the period of development that occurs in the female body from the implantation of a fertilized egg into the lining of the uterus to the birth of a baby. Typically lasting around 40 weeks, or roughly nine months, pregnancy is divided into three trimesters, each with distinct physiological changes and developmental milestones for the fetus. During this time, the body undergoes significant changes to support the growth and health of the fetus, including hormonal adjustments, increased blood volume, and changes in organ function. Proper prenatal care, which involves regular medical check-ups, nutritional support, and lifestyle management, is critical for the health of both the mother and the fetus. Pregnancy culminates in childbirth, which can occur via natural vaginal delivery or cesarean section.
