Week 13 - 14
November 25th, 2006 at 9:19 pm (Stages of Pregnancy)
Your baby is now 9 cm long (or 3.6 inches) and weighs approximately 50 grams (or 1.75 ounces). Many women notice a renewed burst of energy by this stage, but may feel concerned because they do not experience as many obvious signs of pregnancy (and it is too early to feel the reassuring movements of their baby yet). You may need to loosen the clothing around your waistline now, but at this stage many women say they feel they just look ‘fat’, rather than pregnant! From here on in, your baby will grow quite rapidly and in the coming weeks your belly will quickly ‘pop out’!
Your baby’s body now grows more rapidly than their head.
Your baby now has a gag reflex and their nose and nasal passages are fully developed.
