The phase transition to ferromagnetic order in itinerant ferromagnetic superconductor UGe$_2$ as function of pressure shows change of phase transition order. At low temperature and high pressure the transition is of first order and at pressure of about 1.42 GPa the order changes to second. On the basis of Landau expansion of free energy up to the sixth order in magnetization we calculate the phase diagram taking into account the magneto-elastic interaction as the mechanism responsible for this change. We propose a simple Stoner-like dependence of the Curie temperature on the pressure and present the results for measurable thermodynamic quantities as the entropy jump at the first order phase transition.
