1st Trimester or before becoming pregnant (before conception through week 12 of pregnancy)

Pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks and is grouped into three trimesters starting from the first day of your last period. Your body goes through many changes as your baby grows and your bodies are both prepared for your due date of delivery. This program will share some of the normal changes you may experience during each trimester and why it's healthiest for most moms and babies to go the full 40 weeks.

It is ideal to start making healthy lifestyle choices before you even know you're pregnant - when you are trying to conceive or doing nothing to avoid becoming pregnant. These lifestyle choices include stopping smoking and using other nicotine products, avoiding alcoholic beverages, stopping or getting treatment for drug addictions and being sure that prescription and over the counter medications that you use are safe for developing a pregnancy. And once you know you are pregnant, what you put in your body becomes even more vital. This program will share concerns about using prescription medications, drugs or alcohol during pregnancy and what you can do to help ensure a safe journey and outcome for you and your baby.
