Changes occur during 12th week of pregnancy

Baby's Development -

  • Baby's brain continues to develop, and tiny and toe nails start form. 
  • Vocal cords are formed this week, which is the last of woman's first trimester. 
  • Baby's kidneys are functioning. After swallowing amniotic fluid, baby now be able to pass it out of the body as urine. 
  • The intestines will make their way into the abdomen, since there is room for them now.


Woman's Body -

  • Increased blood volume and pregnancy hormones work together. The greater blood volume brings more blood to the blood vessels and hormones increase oil gland secretion, resulting in a flushed, plumper, smoother skin appearance. Sometimes, though, the increased oil gland secretion can cause temporary acne.
  • Woman's waist may be getting a bit thicker and some women begin to develop a small bump at this stage. Woman may also find emotions vary. These feelings are normal and should settle down.
