Fetal development in pregnancy week 13:



fetus in third month
This is your final week in the first trimester and your little weed
continues to grow and grow and grow. Of the three trimesters, this one
has been the most important for your little one’s development. Assuming
you’ve carefully adopted a healthy diet, continue to exercise and get
ample rest, your little one is set up perfectly for even more growth
and development in tri-two! Way to go! He or she now weighs about 2.5
ounces and is roughly 3.5 inches in length. Little hairs, known as
lanugo, will start to cover their body this week, as their sense of
taste and smell are further refined. Their cozy little amniotic sac is
also increasing in size and mass as it continues to fill with more
fluid.

Congratulations on a successful first
trimester! A lot has happened (and there’s a lot more to come). You

eating and exercise habits—your baby and your body will thank you in
the long run.If you’re the planning type, you can celebrate the
beginning of your next trimester by purchasing some choice maternity
clothing to fit your elegantly evolving new shape. The good news is

you can’t look sharp, sexy, sporty, or whatever your particular style
might be. Cruise the online stores for a preview of the range of
fashion out there for pregnant women—even if the local shops are still
stuck in the nineties, you can always hit up some chi-chi online store
based out of NYC! If you’d rather wait a few more weeks (until you
really start to show) before making any purchases, then get ready to
dig out your sweat pants, over-sized t-shirts, and any other comfy
loose fitting clothes you’ve got at your disposal. At the very least,
just unbutton that top button on those pants that still “almost fit”.
Come on, you’re pregnant! This is definitely not the time to suffer for
fashion
