The first month of pregnancy runs from the 1st day of the last menstruation to 4 weeks + 3 days: a period when many mothers do not yet know they are expecting.

The second month ranges from 4 weeks + 4 days to 8 weeks + 5 days: mothers begin to feel the first symptoms of pregnancy.

The third month ranges from 8 weeks + 6 days to 13 weeks + 1 day and is the period of changes.

The fourth month goes from 13 weeks + 2 days to 17 weeks + 4 days-the mother's body has become accustomed to the changes.

The fifth month ranges from 17 weeks + 5 days to 21 weeks + 6 days: here there are large variations in weight.

The sixth month ranges from 22 weeks + 0 days to 26 weeks + 2 days: the baby has already almost developed all the senses.

The seventh month ranges from 26 weeks + 3 days to 30 weeks + 4 days: the baby begins to respond to external sound and tactile symptoms.

Theeighth month ranges from 30 weeks + 5 days to 35 weeks + 0 days: the Child changes position and prepares for the moment of delivery

The ninth month goes from 35 weeks + 1 day to 40 weeks + 0 days: the bulkiness of the belly is becoming more and more felt, the baby is ready to be born!
