Aside from getting used to wearing loose clothes and leggings I love being pregnant because I have time to mix and match my outfits for a day. But I am really getting bigger every day and if there’s a size 6 nurse uniform out there, I swear I will wear it!
I sometimes miss wearing my office uniforms though, it doesn’t give me hard time to decide on what dress to wear early in the morning when my mind is preoccupied with wishing that I can extend my sleeping hours til 10AM or what’s supposed to be my breakfast for the day.
But, as husband commented, I look all the more glowing when I am pregnant. Maybe that’s what extra extra estrogen hormones do to most pregnant women but this period really makes me wish that I am a Stay-at-home Mom or a Work-at-Home Mom, at least I can stay in bed for a while and wont hurry to catch the next trip to work at 6AM. Sigh.
What makes me excited now that I am on my 12 weeks is that, the baby is getting bigger and already has reflexes – I can’t wait to actually tickle her/his hands and feet soon! and this is what a 12 weeks baby on a tummy looks like…
While your baby’s brain is not the same size it will be at birth, it does have the same structure. Bile is being secreted by this time. S/he weighs about 14 grams and is approximately 3.54 inches in total length.Your baby has its reflexes and also practice movements in the digestive tract. All in preparation for extrauterine life. If your practitioner uses a doppler, you may be able to hear your baby’s heart beat at this prenatal visit. Some say it sounds like horses. Your risk of miscarriage is greatly reduced once you hear this sound.
