L'embaràs setmana a setmana

Setmana 1 La setmana 1 és el moment en què es posen els fonaments del viatge de l'embaràs, tot i que encara no són visibles. Tècnicament, durant aquesta setmana encara no s'ha produït la fecundació; el cos es prepara per a un possible embaràs. L'interior de l'úter es renova, les hormones s'ajusten i comencen els preparatius per al procés d'ovulació. És possible que no et sentis embarassada o que no tinguis cap símptoma, però el teu cos s'està preparant en silenci per a un gran viatge.

Week 2 is biologically the week of the "Big Meeting," meaning fertilization takes place. Technically, you are still at the very beginning of your pregnancy, but the most important date of the century is about to happen inside your body.

Week 3 is one of the most mysterious, microscopic, yet vital weeks of your pregnancy journey. This week, the fertilized egg divides rapidly as it travels toward the uterus to implant itself. You may not be 100% sure you are pregnant yet, but a big settling-in plan is already in motion inside.

La setmana 4 és un moment clau en què el viatge de l'embaràs es fa oficial. Normalment, en aquesta etapa es produeix el retard de la menstruació i l'embaràs es confirma en veure les dues ratlles al test. El teu bebè té ara mateix la mida d'una llavor de rosella (1-2 mm). Aquest petit ésser, que ja s'anomena embrió, s'ha agafat ben fort a l'úter per continuar el seu desenvolupament.

Week 5 is when pregnancy starts to feel real. At this stage, your baby is about the size of a poppy seed (2 mm). It is no longer just a line on a test strip; you are in a process of change that resonates through every cell of your body. Your baby’s heart begins its first beat this week!

Week 6 is an exciting milestone in your pregnancy journey where things start feeling more real, and you may even see your baby’s heartbeat for the first time. Now about the size of a sweet pea (5-6 mm), your baby’s facial features and organs are beginning to take shape. Meanwhile, your body is going through significant hormonal changes to welcome its new guest.

Week 7 is a time when your baby’s development gains momentum and you begin to feel these physical changes more intensely. Your baby has doubled in size since last week! They are now about 10 mm long, which is roughly the size of a blueberry.

Week 8 is one of the most important milestones of your pregnancy. Your baby is technically preparing to transition from the embryo stage to the fetus stage. While your baby, now about the size of a raspberry (1.6 cm), continues to develop their heart and brain rapidly, this week may be a time when pregnancy symptoms like nausea and fatigue peak, testing your patience.

Week 9 is a major milestone in your pregnancy journey because your baby is now medically transitioning from an embryo to a fetus. While your baby’s development continues rapidly, reaching about the size of a grape (2.3 cm), you may feel pregnancy symptoms most intensely during this period as hCG hormone levels peak. Hang in there; the relief of the second trimester is just around the corner!

Week 10 is an incredible week, often considered a critical milestone in pregnancy. Your baby has reached about 30 mm in size, roughly the size of a plum. Almost all of their vital organs have finished forming, and they are now moving from the construction phase to the growth and maturation phase. For you, this is a time when clothes start feeling a bit tight and your pregnancy begins to show.

La setmana 11 és una setmana de transició en què t'acostes al final del primer trimestre (els primers tres mesos). El desenvolupament del teu bebè s'accelera i tu et començaràs a sentir més enèrgica a poc a poc. El teu bebè ja té la mida d'una llima (4-5 cm) aproximadament.

Week 12 is like a graduation week in your pregnancy journey. Congratulations! You have reached the end of the first trimester. This week, your baby has reached the size of a lime (5.4 cm). It is a very special period where you may feel a great sense of relief both physically and emotionally, as development now enters the maturation phase. With the end of this week, you will successfully complete your first trimester! Your baby is now fully ready and starting their growth marathon.

Week 13 opens the door to a brand new phase in your pregnancy journey. You have now officially entered the second trimester — congratulations! Your baby has reached the size of a lemon (about 7-8 cm) this week. This is a transition week where your body adapts better to pregnancy, your energy slowly begins to return, and most expectant parents start to feel more balanced. For your baby, it is now a time of rapid growth and strengthening. The vital organs are all in place; now, the details and fine-tuning begin. Movements are increasing, reflexes are developing, and that tiny body is becoming more defined every day. With week 13, pregnancy becomes more fluid; morning sickness may decrease, emotions may settle, and the enjoyable parts of this journey start to be felt more deeply. You are no longer just moving forward — you are growing.

Benvinguda a la setmana 14! Ja ets oficialment al segon trimestre, conegut com l'edat d'or de l'embaràs. Els dies esgotadors, amb nàusees i dificultats dels primers tres mesos han quedat enrere en gran part. Mentre el teu bebè arriba aquesta setmana a la mida d'una llimona (8,9 cm / 42,5 grams), les estructures vitals com els músculs facials i els ronyons continuen desenvolupant-se. Ara és el moment de recuperar l'energia i gaudir d'aquesta etapa tan important del desenvolupament.

La setmana 15 és el bell mig de la famosa fase de "lluna de mel" de l'embaràs. El vostre bebé ja té la mida d'una poma o una taronja, és a dir, ha arribat a uns 10 cm de llargada i comença a explorar el món des de dins. En aquest procés, el desenvolupament del sistema esquelètic del bebé s'accelera i els seus moviments es tornen més coordinats. Per a vosaltres, aquesta setmana és un moment fantàstic en què l'embaràs es fa més tangible físicament, però la vostra energia encara es manté ben alta.

Week 16 is a major highlight of your pregnancy journey. At this stage, you may begin to feel your baby’s first movements, which are often described as light flutters or bubbles. Your baby is now the size of an avocado and is moving energetically, measuring approximately 11-12 cm in length.

Benvinguda a la setmana 17! El teu bebè ja té la mida d'una granada gran (uns 13 cm). Aquesta setmana el cos del teu bebè comença a acumular greix; això vol dir que s'estan posant els fonaments d'aquells famosos i adorables plecs de la pell. Per a tu, és una etapa en què augmenta la gana i l'energia està al màxim, però els dolors d'esquena comencen a notar-se una mica.

Benvinguda a la setmana 18! Aquesta setmana entres en el període de l'ecografia morfològica, una de les fites més importants de l'embaràs. El teu bebè ja té la mida d'un boniato. Ara ja pot sentir la teva veu amb claredat i passa el temps xuclant-se els ditets.

Benvinguda a la setmana 19! Ja gairebé ets a la meitat del camí. El teu bebè ja té la mida d'un mango gran o d'un tomàquet (uns 15 cm). Aquesta setmana, la pell del teu bebè es comença a cobrir d'una substància especial anomenada vèrnix caseosa que el protegirà. Per a tu, és una etapa en què augmenta la gana, però el dolor d'esquena i l'acidesa d'estómac es poden fer més evidents.

Congratulations! You have reached the halfway point of your pregnancy. Week 20 is a major milestone where your baby is now the size of a banana. You will notice their movements are evolving from tiny flutters into distinct kicks as they grow stronger. This is an important time for both celebration and monitoring your baby’s health in detail.

Benvinguda a la setmana 21! Enhorabona, ja has superat la meitat del camí i comences la segona part de l'embaràs. El teu bebè ja té, aproximadament, la mida d'una pastanaga gran. Aquesta setmana, mentre el seu sistema digestiu continua desenvolupant-se, començaràs a sentir les patades del bebè de manera molt més clara i rítmica.

Welcome to week 22! Your baby is now about 14-15 cm long, roughly the size of a coconut or a papaya. This week, your baby’s appearance is like a miniature version of how they will look at birth. For you, it is an interesting phase where your appetite increases, but you may also start experiencing forgetfulness and clumsiness, often called pregnancy brain.

La setmana 23 és una fita clau en el procés de l'embaràs. En la literatura mèdica, aquesta setmana es considera l'inici del llindar de viabilitat, el moment en què el bebè comença a adquirir la capacitat d'adaptar-se al món exterior. El teu bebè fa ara uns 29 cm de llarg i pesa uns 500 g, i té la mida d'una albergínia o d'un mango gran.

Week 24 is a wonderful week as you approach the end of your second trimester and your baby has now reached the size of an ear of corn. This week marks a medical milestone with the start of the glucose screening test period, while your baby’s lungs speed up their development to prepare for the outside world.

La setmana 25 és el moment en què t'apropes al final del segon trimestre de l'embaràs, una etapa en què el teu bebè guanya pes ràpidament i ja reacciona al món exterior com una personeta. El teu bebè fa ara uns 34,6 cm de llarg i pesa uns 660 grams, aproximadament la mida d'una coliflor o d'un meló mitjà. Durant aquest procés, els pulmons i els vasos sanguinis del teu bebè continuen el seu desenvolupament per preparar-se per al món exterior.

Welcome to week 26! You are nearing the end of your second trimester. Your baby is now about 35 cm long. The biggest highlight in your baby's world this week is finally opening their eyes!

With week 27, you are entering the Third Trimester, the most exciting and final stretch of your pregnancy. This week is a medical and biological milestone, as your baby’s chance of survival in the outside world has now risen above 90%. Your baby is now about the size of a cauliflower or a large head of lettuce (approximately 36.6 cm / 875 grams).

Week 28 officially marks the start of your third trimester. This week is a major milestone as your baby’s chance of survival is now very high, and your body begins practicing for labor. Your baby is currently about the size of a large eggplant.

Week 29 is an exciting stage as you move deeper into the third trimester and prepare for the grand finale of your pregnancy. This week, your baby has reached the size of a butternut squash or a large cauliflower (about 38-39 cm and 1.1-1.2 kg), and you may begin to feel the physical weight more clearly. Every movement becomes more meaningful, and every preparation feels more real. For your baby, this is a week of perfecting survival skills. While their lungs gear up to breathe the air of the outside world, their brain continues to weave a complex network with billions of new neurons. They are no longer just a growing life inside you; they are a tiny individual with their own character, reacting to light, sound, and even the flavors of the food you eat. Your body, meanwhile, moves into a mode of preserving its reserves. As your blood volume approaches its peak, your heart and lungs work harder than ever. Week 29 is a time when patience, physical endurance, and the silent bond you share with your baby are felt most strongly. You have traveled most of the way; now, each passing day brings you one step closer to the miracle.

Week 30 is a time when you are approaching the final stretch of your pregnancy journey and preparations are becoming more serious. Your baby is now as heavy as a large cabbage and is about 40 cm long. This week is a stage where your baby begins to react to the outside world not just physically, but mentally as well. For you, while managing increasing back pain and sleeplessness, the countdown to the day you hold your baby is picking up speed. Every kick is now stronger, and every movement is felt more clearly.

Week 31 marks a significant period in the third trimester as the countdown to delivery becomes more tangible. You have successfully navigated the majority of your pregnancy. This week is a crucial filling-out phase for both you and your baby. Your bump is now much more prominent, and while your physical activity might have slowed, your mind is likely occupied with thoughts of your baby's arrival. For your baby, this week involves major advancements in perceiving the world. They are refining their five senses in preparation for life outside the womb. While brain connections develop at a rapid pace, fat stores are accumulating to give them a fuller baby shape. Pregnancy reaches a higher physical intensity during week 31. You may experience shortness of breath, abdominal pressure, and sleeplessness; however, every strong kick is a sweet reward that reminds you of the purpose of this journey. You are nearing the end now, and each day brings you one step closer to the miracle you will soon hold in your arms.

La setmana 32 marca l'últim tram de la marató de l'embaràs, un període especial on es barregen l'emoció i el pes físic. Felicitats, ja has recorregut la major part del camí! Aquesta setmana, el teu cos realitza preparatius seriosos per al part i la zona de l'úter s'expandeix, fent que la panxa estigui més tensa que mai. Per al teu bebè, aquest període és una fase d'emmagatzematge i maduració. El teu bebè, que ja té la mida d'una carbassa (uns 42 cm), està establint connexions entre les seves cèl·lules cerebrals a la velocitat de la llum, mentre que el seu sistema immunitari crea la primera línia de defensa contra el món exterior gràcies a tu. Amb la setmana 32, els preparatius donen pas a una espera impacient; el temps comença a passar ràpid i lent alhora.

Week 33 is a stage in the final stretch of your pregnancy where your baby is nearly ready for the outside world, though space inside the womb is getting quite tight. This week, your baby is about the size of a pineapple. While your body performs important rehearsals for birth, your baby’s immune system and bone structure are beginning to reach their strongest form.

La setmana 34 marca l'inici de la recta final de l'embaràs, un període on el creixement del nadó és molt notable. En aquest moment, el teu fill té aproximadament la mida d'un meló i el seu pes se situa entre els 2100 - 2300 grams. Aquesta etapa es considera una fita mèdica clau, ja que la majoria dels nadons nascuts a partir d'ara tenen un pronòstic excel·lent i poden adaptar-se al món exterior amb una mínima intervenció.

Benvinguda a la setmana 35! Estàs a la recta final del teu embaràs i només falten unes poques setmanes per al part. El teu bebè ja fa uns 46 cm de llargada i pesa uns 2400 grams, és a dir, té la mida d'un meló. El seu desenvolupament físic està gairebé completat i s'està preparant per adaptar-se al món exterior, mentre tu pots notar que el teu cos se sent més pesat en aquesta etapa.

Welcome to week 36! Your pregnancy has now reached the early term stage, meaning the risk of preterm birth has passed. Your baby, now approximately the size of a head of lettuce, is busy completing final preparations for birth as your due date approaches.

Benvinguda a la setmana 37! Enhorabona, el teu embaràs ja es considera mèdicament a terme precoç. Això significa que els òrgans del teu bebè ja estan prou desenvolupats per sobreviure a l'exterior sense ajuda i que el part pot començar en qualsevol moment. El teu bebè fa ara uns 48,5 cm de llarg i pesa uns 2,85 kg; té la mida d'un meló gran.

Week 38 marks a major milestone as your pregnancy is now full-term, and labor could begin at any moment. Your baby is fully developed and ready for birth, measuring approximately 50 cm and weighing 3100 grams—roughly the size of a watermelon. This week, your body is entirely focused on the final preparations for delivery.

Benvinguda a la setmana 39! Ja ets a la gran setmana final en què l'embaràs es considera oficialment a terme, les maletes ja esperen a la porta i només falten uns dies, o potser hores, per conèixer el teu bebè. El teu bebè ara té aproximadament la mida d'una síndria, pesa uns 3300 grams de mitjana i fa 50 cm de llarg, i està totalment preparat per al món exterior.

Week 40 is the official finish line of your pregnancy journey, and your due date has finally arrived. This week, your baby has fully completed their development and is ready to enter the outside world at any moment. For you, it is a time when excitement and anticipation reach their peak. Your baby is now about the size of a pumpkin or a large watermelon.

Week 41 is a stage in your pregnancy journey where your expected due date has passed, a phase medically known as being post-term that requires a little extra patience. Your baby is now about the size of a watermelon and, although they are fully ready for life outside the womb, they haven't quite given up their cozy home just yet.

Week 42 is the final stage of pregnancy, known as post-term or overdue. This medical milestone marks exactly two weeks past your due date, a time when clinical monitoring becomes essential. Your baby is now about the size of a large watermelon and has completed their final preparations to enter the outside world from the womb.
