Research conducted by Aptaclub showed that 39 percent of pregnant women were worried about whether or not they would be able to hide their bumps until they felt comfortable enough to tell people they were expecting.
Understandably, there are a lot of reasons for this worry too.
Expectant mothers may not have decided who they want to tell so early in their pregnancy. Similarly, it's not uncommon for women to conceal their pregnancies from their employers and other people they work with during their first trimester, and even into their second.
Pregnancy, of course, is not all about worries, it's also about happy moments too.
60 percent of women said that having their first scan was their most powerful memory from the first trimester.
As pregnancy continues through trimester two and three, most women say feeling their baby move for the first time was the most memorable moment they experienced.
Midwife, Sinead McSorley said:
While much of this development can be seen, a lot of it can't. For the aspects of pregnancy that aren't so visible to the naked eye, Aptaclub has introduced a pregnancy timeline, an interactive week by week hub of in-depth, expert information and advice for each trimester of pregnancy. The timeline covers everything from the size of your baby at different times during pregnancy to the point where your baby can get hiccups. Adorable.“Pregnancy is such a magical time for mums-to-be, but it’s also a time of many changes.
"There is so much information for mums-to-be to take in, from how their body is changing during pregnancy, to how their baby is developing."
