11 & 12 Weeks Pregnant
No more Surprises

My pregnancy was progressing, and I was more anxious to feel any movement of my baby. After seeing my baby on the ultrasound, I sensed he was going to be a boy. My husband wanted a girl, but more important was to know that my baby was well in health, and growing satisfactorily.

It’s a girl or boy? Finally, you are in the last 2 weeks of the first trimester of pregnancy. Now your belly starts to be shown. It's time to go shopping because you should not wear tight clothing. Your baby is still very comfortable and with enough space in your belly, but surely you will start feeling uncomfortable with some tight clothing. Give free rein to the growing belly and let it noticed.

You must have already some extra pounds; it does not matter, as long as you are following a healthy diet. Do not let your weight increase too much; consider that 1 or 2 pounds is right at the end of first trimester.

If you feel an urgent need to eat something, eat some fruit or a tuna sandwich.

With regards to your nausea and fatigue, they may begin to disappear. However, each mom is different and some may still have those discomforts even during the second trimester. Don’t be afraid if you have those discomforts, asks your doctor to recommend you some medication to relieve it.

Hello baby, your bones start to appear and you can move now, but your mom may not feel any movement, not right now. The sex organs start to differentiate, even though they can not be detected by the ultrasound. The length of your baby is already 5-6 cm and its weight is about 14 grams. Now the placenta will take over production of hormones.

It’s time to hear your baby’s heartbeat. Do not forget this lovely sound in your prenatal visit.

Dad:

Hey Dad, it's time to start watching your partner fully pregnant with the visual signs of pregnancy. If your partner still feels discomforts at 12 weeks pregnant, try to pamper her and give her a massage at nights to make her feel good.
