Embracing the very first moments of pregnancy
The first trimester is where the journey truly begins—a tender chapter filled with both wonder and transformation. In these first twelve weeks, your baby’s heart starts to beat, organs begin to form, and the foundations of new life take shape.
You may feel excitement, love, and sometimes uncertainty as your body adapts. Morning sickness, fatigue, and mood shifts can be challenging, yet they are signs of the miracle unfolding within.
This is a season to nurture yourself as much as the life you are carrying—to rest when you need to, eat nourishing foods, and give yourself kindness and patience. Every milestone, from your first prenatal check to hearing that tiny heartbeat, is a precious step forward in your unique story.
All new beginning deserves gentle care
The first trimester is the start of a journey, filled with changes, questions, and new experiences. During these early weeks, your baby begins to develop rapidly while your body adjusts to support this new life. It can be a time of excitement as well as uncertainty, and having the right care and guidance can make a meaningful difference.
At Thomson Medical, we provide early assessments to confirm and monitor your pregnancy, alongside first trimester screenings such as OSCAR, NT scans, NIPT, and pre-eclampsia assessments. These screenings provide information about your health and your baby's development. Our medical team also offers guidance on nutrition, lifestyle considerations, and managing common pregnancy symptoms during this period.
From your very first appointment, we will provide information to help you understand the changes taking place and offer medical guidance relevant to this stage of pregnancy.Scans for first trimester
- First Trimester Pre-Eclampsia Screening: An early assessment to estimate the risk of developing pre-eclampsia later in pregnancy.
