Raskausvaihe

Raskausvaihe refers to the stages of pregnancy. It is typically divided into three trimesters, each lasting approximately three months. The first trimester encompasses the period from conception to about 12 weeks of gestation. During this phase, the fertilized egg implants in the uterus and major organs begin to develop. Early pregnancy symptoms are common.

The second trimester spans from around week 13 to week 28. By this point, many early pregnancy symptoms may subside. Fetal growth accelerates, and the pregnant person often starts to feel fetal movements. Organ development continues, and the fetus becomes more recognizable.

The third trimester extends from approximately week 29 until birth. This stage is characterized by rapid fetal growth and weight gain as the baby prepares for life outside the womb. The pregnant person will experience significant physical changes and may feel increased fatigue. Labor and delivery typically occur towards the end of this trimester. Understanding these different stages helps in tracking fetal development and maternal changes throughout the entire pregnancy.
