I'm glad you are asking us, but be sure to also ask your doctor and ask for some books on pregnancy that he or she recommends. Here's a list from us. There's so much to learn!

During the nine months of pregnancy, your body changes as the baby grows inside you. A lot happens.

In the first weeks, you may feel few changes. Or, you could feel really tired and nauseous. You might need to urinate (pee) a lot and have swollen or sore breasts.
These symptoms are most common during the first trimester – the first three months of pregnancy.

During the second trimester, you’ll start to gain more weight, but usually the fatigue and naseau go away. Many women feel great during this part of the pregnancy.

During the last trimester, especially the last few weeks, a lot of women are uncomfortable, because they’ve gained weight and their expanded uterus puts pressure on other parts of their body. Sometimes, they have trouble sleeping.

You also might get very emotional during your pregnancy. Both hormones and the fear of a huge life change make a lot of women weepy or short-tempered during pregnancy.

These are just general guidelines. Everyone’s different. Ask everyone that you can about their pregnancy or their partner's pregnancy. Ask your doc. Ask your library for more books. Good luck!
