Pregnancy is an amazing developmental process that transforms a cluster of cells into a newborn infant over a period of about 40 weeks. Each fetus develops differently, so it’s impossible to pinpoint exactly what your growing baby is going through at a specific point in time; however, doctors have been able to provide expectant parents with a general snapshot of how babies develop in the womb.

Many women make lifestyle changes in anticipation of their newborn. Everything is scrutinized: no alcohol, no cigarettes, even the occasional cold medication must be cleared with their ob/gyn before taking. Ensuring a healthy pregnancy is top priority. It is vital that women maintain good health during their pregnancy, as each stage of development is crucial to the next.
