Pregnancy · All 40 weeks

Week by week

Every week mapped — what's happening with baby, what to expect in your body, and what's worth knowing right now.

First trimester Weeks 1–13

All the big firsts. A heartbeat begins, major organs form, and the embryo officially becomes a fetus. Many people don't know they're pregnant until week 5 or later — it all still counts.
