    Study Notes

    Pregnancy Trimesters

    • Pregnancy consists of three trimesters.
    • The first trimester spans from 4 to 12 weeks, during which organs develop and the central nervous system (CNS) develops.
    • The skeletal structure hardens from cartilage to bone around 4 weeks.

    First Trimester Development

    • Organ development occurs between 4 to 12 weeks.

    Second Trimester Development

    • Growth and development continue between 13 to 14 weeks.
    • Teeth calcify around 20 weeks.
    • The fetus can survive outside the womb around 24 weeks.

    Third Trimester Development

    • Growth and development continue.
    • Storage of iron and other nutrients occurs between 36 to 40 weeks.
    • Development of necessary fat tissue occurs between 36 to 40 weeks.

    Weight Gain in Pregnancy

    • Weight gain is small in the first trimester.
    • Rapid weight gain occurs in the second trimester.
    • Slower weight gain occurs in the third trimester.
    • The average weight gain during pregnancy is 24 lbs.

    Nutritional Problems

    • Inadequate folate intake can lead to Neural Tube Defects.
    • Folate and vitamin supplementation can help prevent Neural Tube Defects.

    Pre-eclampsia

    • Sudden weight gain after the 20th week of pregnancy may indicate water retention and possible onset of pre-eclampsia.
