For you
- 🤰Your uterus is now the size of a grapefruit and is starting to rise higher in the pelvis, which might reduce pressure on your bladder. Although nausea may start to subside, you might notice increased saliva production or heartburn.
- ✨Increased blood circulation can give you the famous 'pregnancy glow,' but it can also make your gums more sensitive. Take care of your oral hygiene and schedule a cleaning if your doctor allows it.
- 👩⚕️It's time to talk to your gynecologist about prenatal screening, specifically the nuchal translucency scan. This exam is usually performed between the 11th and 13th week and is very important.
For your baby
- 🤸Your little one is extremely active and constantly makes dance-like movements, even though it's still too small for you to feel them. Its fingers and toes are now fully separated and no longer look like fins.
- 🦷This week, the roots for the baby's first teeth begin to form under the gums. At the same time, its bones are starting to harden, although the skeleton still remains very flexible.
💡 Fun Fact
Your baby can now yawn, swallow, and even have hiccups, preparing its diaphragm for breathing after birth!
