Third Month of Pregnancy!!

The third month of your pregnancy, your baby’s bones begin harden. Your baby is already moving, but you usually can’t feel these movements for awhile yet. Your baby’s eyes are large and open. Eyelids will form later. External ears have formed.

External genitals begin to differ, though it’s still very difficult to tell whether your baby is a girl or a boy without genetic screening. Your baby moves from being an embryo, now called a fetus. S/he also loses their tail!

S/he weighs about 14 grams and is approximately 3.54 inches in total length. By the end of this month you should be able to hear your baby’s heart beat with a Doppler.

Second Month of Pregnancy!!

The second month of pregnancy is a critical month in thedevelopment. Your baby goes from being a blastocyst to an embryo. Early on in this month your baby’s heart will begin to beat. First it beats slowly, then very rapidly, later in pregnancy the heart rate will slow a bit more.
As this month progresses it becomes easy to tell which end is your baby’s head is and which end is your baby’s bottom. By the end of the month your baby’s upper and lower limb buds will also appear. While your baby is a girl or a boy, it is not yet apparent without genetic screening.
Your baby is now measuring between 8-11 mm from crown to rump (CRL).

First Month of Pregnancy!!

The beginning portion of what we consider the first month of pregnancy is actually your period until you ovulate. You are not actually pregnant during this time, but knowing the first day of your last normal period (LMP) we are able to more accurately calculate your due date.
Conception usually occurs within 24 hours of ovulation, 14 days before the start of your next period. The egg and the sperm meet in the outer third of the Fallopian tube and travel over the course of the next seven to ten days, down the tube to the uterus. Once in the uterus, the fertilized egg will implant into the fluffy, nutrient rich lining of the uterus. Immediately chemical signals are sent to your body that pregnancy has occurred.Your period will not come.
Your baby is called a blastocyst as it implants. The baby measures about 0.1-0.2 mm.The yolk sac is helping to sustain the pregnancy until the placenta is fully formed.
