Week To Week Pregnancy
A woman’s pregnancy progresses differently from one woman to the next and even from one week to the next within the same pregnancy. Most pregnant women are anxious to track their baby’s development and so they often ask their healthcare providers, “What should I expect this week” This blog will provide a general overview of the changes you can expect during the week following your last menstrual period.
During the first week of pregnancy, the fertilized egg (zygote) begins to divide and grow. By the end of the first week, the zygote has become a cluster of cells called a blastocyst. The blastocyst will implant in to the wall of the uterus in the second week of pregnancy. This is why it is important for pregnant women to avoid smoking and drinking alcohol, as these substances can harm the developing blastocyst.
In the second week of pregnancy, the blastocyst will implant in to the wall of the uterus. If the implantation is successful, the blastocyst will begin to produce the hormone hCG. This hormone will cause the body to produce the pregnancy hormone, progesterone. Progesterone is responsible for the changes in the woman’s body during pregnancy, such as morning sickness and changes in the breasts.
In the third week of pregnancy, the baby’s heart begins to beat. The baby’s brain and spinal cord also begin to form. The baby’s facial features also start to develop.
In the fourth week of pregnancy, the baby’s arms, legs and fingers start to form. The baby’s eyes and ears also start to develop. The baby’s sex can also be determined at this point.
In the fifth week of pregnancy, the baby’s kidneys start to form and the baby’s intestines develop. The baby’s vocal cords also start to form.
In the sixth week of pregnancy, the baby’s bones start to form. The baby’s skin starts to thicken and the baby’s eyelashes and eyebrows start to form.
In the seventh week of pregnancy, the baby’s brain starts to mature. The baby’s bladder starts to function and the baby’s taste buds start to form.
In the eighth week of pregnancy, the baby’s fingernails start to form. The baby’s sex organs also start to develop.
In the ninth week of pregnancy, the baby’s lungs start to form. The baby’s taste buds continue to develop.
In the tenth week of pregnancy, the baby’s hair starts to grow. The baby’s toenails start to form.
Pregnancy Weight Gain 25 Weeks
So you’re pregnant, congratulations! This is an amazing time in your life, but with all the changes your body is going through it can be difficult to know what is normal and what is not. One question that many women have is how much weight they should expect to gain during their pregnancy.
The amount of weight you gain during pregnancy depends on a variety of factors, including your pre-pregnancy weight, your diet and exercise habits, and your body’s individual physiology. Most women should gain between 25 and 35 pounds during their pregnancy. However, if you are underweight or overweight before getting pregnant, you may need to gain more or less weight than this.
It is important to remember that gaining too much weight during pregnancy can be dangerous for both you and your baby. Excessive weight gain can lead to gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, and other health problems. It is therefore important to eat healthy foods and get regular exercise during your pregnancy.
If you are worried about your weight gain, or if you are not sure if you are gaining enough, talk to your doctor. He or she can help you to create a healthy pregnancy diet and exercise plan that is right for you.

You will likely have a lot of doctor’s appointments to make sure both babies are developing properly.
In the second trimester, your twins will start to grow and develop more rapidly. You will likely start to feel their movements more and more. You may also begin to show earlier in this trimester than with a singleton pregnancy. Be sure to take it easy and get plenty of rest.
In the third trimester, your twins will continue to grow and develop. You will likely feel more tired and uncomfortable as your pregnancy progresses. Make sure to take care of yourself and get plenty of rest. In the last few weeks before your twins are born, you may start to feel Braxton Hicks contractions. When you go into labor, you will likely have a longer labor than with a singleton pregnancy.
