Pregnancy is broken down into three trimesters. The baby develops most rapidly during the first trimester (weeks 1-13). The baby starts off as a collection of cells that develop into an embryo. At 8 weeks, the embryo is called a fetus because the baby resembles a human. At this time, all major organs and systems have been formed. During the second trimester (weeks 14-26), the organs and systems start to mature. During the third trimester (week 27-40), the baby starts to pack on the pounds.
