Almost done with first trimester, 12 weeks now and finally feeling a bit relieved. Nausea is slowly less. Whats happening with baby at this stage? mommies pls share what changes I will notice.
Oh, 12 weeks is such a milestone! I remember looking at that tiny ultrasound scan and seeing actual baby shapes. Your morning sickness will start reducing soon, so hang in there, it gets so much better.
This is the end of your first trimester, dear. You might start feeling your energy levels coming back slowly. Make sure to get your first-trimester screening done as advised by your doctor.
At 12 weeks, my mother started giving me almonds soaked overnight to help with baby's brain growth. This is usually when you have your NT scan to check on the baby, which is very reassuring.
At 12 weeks, your baby is fully formed and is about the size of a plum. My doctor told me that the risk of miscarriage drops significantly after this week, and the placenta takes over hormone production.
I felt so emotional during my 12th-week scan when I heard the heartbeat clearly for the first time. It finally made me feel like yes, I am going to be a mother soon.
