Some people are literally on cloud nine from the very moment they find out they’re pregnant, whilst others can keep very level-headed about the whole thing. And sharing your pregnancy news with the world is certainly very personal too. Some pregnant ladies won’t be able to wait, whilst others prefer to keep it to themselves for as long as possible. One thing’s for sure: this first trimester is going to be a super exciting period!
How your body will change during the first trimester
A great deal will particularly be changing on the inside of your body during this first trimester. And yet you’ll be completely focussed on the smallest changes on the outside too. How long will it be before everyone will really be able to see you’re pregnant? How long will you be able to continue wearing your own clothes for?

That’s because our clothing is perfectly tuned to your continuously changing pregnant shape. So what are the kind of things you can expect during this first trimester?
