Pregnancy: From the first weeks to birth

Pregnancy is arguably the most exciting journey in life, full of joy, changes, and sometimes even uncertainty. To help you understand what to expect, we've summarized the most important developmental stages for you.

The fact is: Not only does your baby grow, your body also achieves incredible things during these 9 months.

During the first trimester, a woman's body is experiencing a veritable hormonal explosion: fatigue, nausea, and mood swings are typical, while her heart and circulation are working at peak performance. Starting in the second trimester, things get easier, energy returns, the first kicks are noticeable, and despite a growing belly, joy often prevails.

In the third trimester, things become more physically demanding: The baby presses on organs, back pain, and short nights are normal. At the same time, the body prepares specifically for birth – muscles relax, breasts produce their first milk. Even the brain adapts: areas responsible for empathy and caring become measurably stronger.

And for men: Your support makes all the difference. Whether it's listening, empathizing, or simply being there – studies show that partner stress decreases when you provide support. Pregnancy is teamwork, and you're an important part of it.

At a glance

1st trimester (months 1–3)

It all starts tiny: Your baby is developing its heart, brain, and first organs. After just a few weeks, the tiny heartbeat is visible on an ultrasound. For you, this means hormonal changes, frequent fatigue, or nausea.

2nd trimester (months 4–6)

Now you feel the first movements – a magical moment! Your baby's arms, legs, and facial features are taking shape, and the little one is already responding to voices and touch. For many moms, this is the most pleasant time: more energy, less discomfort.

3rd trimester (months 7–9)

Your baby is gaining weight rapidly, its lungs are maturing, and it's diligently practicing breathing. Towards the end, it's finding its birth position. For you, that means a heavy belly, shorter nights, and lots of anticipation.
