Hi Lovelies!!!
This
week I am 13 weeks pregnant! I'm looking forward to hearing the heartbeat at our next appointment which is on Wednesday. This is going to be exciting because the Little will be able to hear the heartbeat as well.
Baby Center Information for Week 13:
How your baby's growing:
Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (about the size of a pea pod) and weighs nearly an ounce.
See what your baby looks like this week.
This is the last
week of your first trimester, and your risk of miscarriage is now much
lower than earlier in pregnancy. Next week marks the beginning of your
second trimester, a time of relative comfort for many women who see
early pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness and fatigue subside.
More good news: Many couples also notice a distinct libido lift
around this time. Birth is still months away, but your breasts may have
already started making colostrum, the nutrient-rich fluid that feeds
your baby for the first few days after birth, before your milk starts to
flow
Now for the weekly questions!
