    The first trimester is categorized from the first week to the 12th week. Here, the important milestones are the egg fertilizing and implanting itself on the uterus wall, the egg turning into an embryo, and finally turning into a fetus.

    During these weeks, approximately the 8th-12th weeks, the baby has a steady heartbeat and nearly measures 3 inches. The umbilical cord is visible, the nerves and muscles work together, and sex organs begin to form.

    During the first trimester, it is important to take prenatal care. You should schedule regular visits with your doctor, take the doctors advice, and maintain a healthy diet. In this situation, I would support them by going to check ups with them. Reserach important facts about the baby is another option.

    Here, the baby begins to develop much more. In this stage, it is certain that the baby makes sucking noises with its mouth. Also, the baby can hear and swallow, and physical characteristics are formed (eyebrows, eyelashes,etc). By the end of the 24th week, the baby is 12 inches long and weighs about 1 and 1/2 pounds.

    During the 2nd trimester, a person should expect regular lab tests and regular measuremenst of your baby. As a suggestion, a person should maintain a healthy diet because your baby can develop diabetes. Lab tests, such as blood test, will be regular so make sure to take prenatal care. To support a friend, I would try to make sure they are eating right, getting exercise, going to lab test, and reserching different type of illnesses possible.

    The second trimester are weeks 13-28. During this stage the baby reaches three important milestones. The first is when the baby begins to create urine that is released into the amniotic fluid. Second, the baby begins to form fat at week 17. This will give him/her energy and will maintain warmth. Third, they begin to develop fingerprints and footprints. This occurs by the 23rd and 24th week.

    To maintain health in the last weeks, the person should make sure to notice any early deliveries or miscarriges. Call your doctor before taking vitamins or herbs, if you notice bledding, headaches, or any abnormal symptomes. As a friend, I would be there in the delivery and go to any ultrasounds. Also, make sure the person's health is perfect and that she's ready.
