About Early Pregnancy
Early pregnancy is usually considered the first trimester, or first three months, of the pregnancy, with a typical full-term pregnancy lasting nine months. During this time, great care must be taken to follow a proper diet, visit a doctor regularly and be careful not to engage in any behavior which may harm a developing fetus, such as smoking or drinking alcohol, as in all stages of pregnancy.
