Pregnancy is a touching and at the same time exciting period in the life of every family. While waiting to meet your baby, it is important to know what changes are happening in the body of mother and baby. Our pregnancy calendar will help with this.
If you are unsure whether you are pregnant or not, go through.
- Negative test result? Perhaps it’s not time yet, try to go through it later.
- Did the test show a positive result? Congratulations!
In the calendar you will find the most important information and useful tips. Here you will find out what happens to your baby in every week of pregnancy, in every trimester. The calendar will tell you what sensations a mother may experience during pregnancy, as well as under what conditions she needs to be vigilant.
First, the calculator will help you calculate your gestational age and approximate due date. To do this, you need to enter the first day of your last period, as well as the length of your cycle. Let us remind you that calculation of the menstrual cycle: you need to take the number of days from the first day of menstruation to the last day before the next menstruation (inclusive). Usually average values are taken. The normal menstrual cycle is 28 plus/minus 7 days.
The calendar is divided into 3 stages - trimesters (1 trimester = 3 months). Each trimester includes weeks of pregnancy. Yes, pregnancy is measured in weeks, not months, as many of us are used to. And the mother needs to get used to this, since the gynecologist will calculate the period exactly this way. In our calendar calculator, the pregnancy period is also calculated in weeks.
First trimester – 1-12 weeks of pregnancy. This period is the most crucial. The first 2 weeks of pregnancy are theoretical, they are needed for ease of calculation. Fertilization has not yet occurred. But in the third week, the nuclei of germ cells merge and a small “pea” appears in the tummy. The baby has not yet formed either arms or legs, but from the moment of fertilization he is endowed with a soul. In the first weeks of the first trimester, the mother’s immunity decreases so that her body does not perceive the baby as something foreign. Symptoms of toxicosis often appear. By the end of the trimester, the baby already looks like a person, only very small. The doctor recommends an ultrasound.
Second trimester – 13-26 weeks of pregnancy. Toxicosis has passed; during this period there is less risk for the baby. Mom's belly is getting rounder. Very soon she feels the first tremors - the movements of the baby. Towards the end of the second trimester, it is recommended to repeat the ultrasound examination.
Third trimester – 27-42 weeks of pregnancy. As the baby grows, his “house” also grows. In some cases, it becomes difficult for the mother to breathe, because... the uterus rises very high. This goes away before childbirth. Closer to the cherished day of birth, immunity decreases again. This is how the hormonal levels are restructured, and preparations are underway for an exciting meeting with the baby.
The baby is considered full term at 38 weeks of pregnancy. Most often, childbirth occurs at 38-40 weeks, but there are cases when pregnancy drags on to 41-42 weeks. This is quite normal, especially for first-time mothers. We have included these weeks in the pregnancy calendar so that we can continue to be with you until the birth.
During the entire period of pregnancy, the mother and baby are monitored by a doctor to monitor the slightest disturbances and deal with them in a timely manner.

Hello! For comfortable communication in English, it is very important to know the names of the seasons, but it is equally important, for both children and adults, to be able to name the months. In daily conversations we use these words - we name dates, birthdays, holidays, schedules. Therefore, at the very first stages of learning a foreign language, you need to learn this vocabulary.
Names of months in English In English, as in Russian, there are 12 months in a year. But besides the difference in names, there are other significant differences. So, we have 3 months in each season. In the US it's the same, but in Britain it's different. They have two seasons of 2 months, and two seasons of 4 months, which, in general, also amounts to 12 months of the year. But for children this information is not so important, but it will be useful for you to know.
First, let's name them with translation and transcription:
In general, you will gain spelling skills over time by constantly doing practical exercises and by regularly reading English literature.
Features of the distribution of months in Britain
As I already said, in the UK the months are distributed according to the seasons differently. For them, November, December, January and February are considered winter months; March and April - spring; May, June, July, August - summer; and September and October are autumn. In America, everything is as we are used to.
Therefore, if you are going to travel to the UK, then it will be useful for you to know this information so as not to get into an awkward situation and show your competence in this matter.
