Pregnancy Weeks 10 - 12 Pregnancy Week 10 To neutralize the discomfort caused due to pregnancy, adequate rest, drinking lots of water and gentle exercising is important. Choosing to commence prenatal classes is a good idea. The first signs of pregnancy may start to come forth. The doctor after a complete physical examination will ask you to visit him/her for short monthly appointments till the 32nd week. After that the visits will be 2 times a month and then every week post the 36th week. The fetus now has a big head and the irises of the eyes are commencing to develop. The functioning of the placenta starts at this stage. The baby's length is 1.22 inches (3.1 centimeters) weighing 0.14 ounce (four grams). You can now take a gender identification test to know whether you are expecting a girl or a boy. You have just realized that you are expecting and experiencing initial pregnancy signs. Let the family know about the pregnancy (this will give them an idea as to your vomiting and tiredness). Start bonding with your baby and think about some early name possibilities. Pregnancy Week 11 The signs may still go on but starting next week they will start tapering off. Kegel and other pelvic exercises should be considered. You may start gaining some weight now. Expectant mothers can gain 25 to 35 pounds during a pregnancy with multiple babies can result in a weight gain between 40 and 45 pounds. Doubling of food intake is not required. An increase of about one-sixth only is needed. Eating healthy foods with lots of proteins, folic acid, calcium and iron is important. Now is the time when the fingers and the toes start to separate and the hair and nails are starting to grow. Organ functioning and genital development starts at this stage. Accumulation of amniotic fluids also happens in this week. Walls of the baby's intestines are now learning to contract. The baby is now 1.6 inches (4 cms) in length weighing 0.25 ounces (seven grams). Pregnancy Week 12 An expectant mother may dream flamboyantly and need to make bathroom visits very often. You should also consider the right time to break the news of your pregnancy to your boss. Most mothers do not tell the boss until the second trimester. The baby's vocal cords start developing in the twelfth week. The eyes are becoming closer and the ears are getting into position. Further movement of the intestines inside the body and liver functioning starts in this week. The baby's body starts producing insulin. The development of the brain is complete with the development of the nervous system ongoing. Many other organs including the thyroid glands start their functions. To check the possibility of down's syndrome (Mongloid baby), a nuchal fold test for some expectant mothers may be done between the 11th and 14th weeks. Women may also choose to do the amniocentesis and the chorionic villus sampling. The length and weight of the baby now is 2.13 inches and 0.49 ounces, respectively.
