What is another word for first trimester?
Pronunciation: [fˈɜːst tɹˈa͡ɪmɛstə] (IPA) 
The first trimester of pregnancy refers to the first three months of gestation. However, there are several synonyms for this term that are commonly used in medical literature and discussions. The earliest phase of pregnancy is sometimes referred to as the embryonic stage, which encompasses the first six weeks of pregnancy during which the fetus develops primitive organs. The first trimester can also be referred to as the initial stage, beginning stage, or early stage of pregnancy. Additionally, the term "first quarter" may be used to describe this period, especially in conversations with non-medical professionals. Regardless of the phrasing, the first trimester is a crucial and often challenging period for both the mother and the developing fetus.
