The female reproductive system is studied in the medical specialty of gynecology. Pregnancy is divided into three trimesters - the first from weeks 1 to 12 where extreme tiredness and breast changes occur, the second from weeks 13 to 28 where nausea subsides and the abdomen expands, and the third from week 28 to birth. The uterus is the pear-shaped organ where the developing fetus resides, with its inner lining thickening monthly in preparation for a potential pregnancy.
