Week 13: Welcome to the threshold of the second trimester! 🐥

For you

• ✨Morning sickness and intense fatigue are likely starting to subside, giving way to a renewed sense of energy. This is the famous 'pregnancy glow' starting as blood flow to your skin increases.
• 👖Your uterus is rising higher in the abdomen, so you might notice a small bump that makes your regular pants feel tight. Don't hesitate to choose more comfortable clothes or maternity wear for your comfort.
• 🦷Hormones can make your gums more sensitive or prone to bleeding. Take meticulous care of your oral hygiene and consult your dentist for a preventive check-up, informing them about your pregnancy.

For your baby

• ✋Your baby is now developing its own unique fingerprints on the tips of its tiny fingers. This detail will accompany them for their whole life!
• 🦴The baby's skeleton is starting to harden, with the bones of the limbs and skull forming more distinctly. It is important to maintain a diet rich in calcium, always in consultation with your gynecologist.
• 👅Vocal cords and taste buds are starting to develop, preparing your little one for their first taste experiences through the amniotic fluid.
