Stages of Pregnancy
A typical pregnancy lasts 40 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP) to the birth of your baby. A pregnancy is divided into three stages, called trimesters: first trimester, second trimester, and third trimester. Each semester of pregnancy means new and exciting things for mother and baby.
Our experts at Lee Health have the answers to questions throughout your pregnancy.
