14 weeks

While in the first trimester the focus was on the creation of the various body systems, from this point on the emphasis will be on fetal growth. Our baby will start growing at a rapid rate. In fact this month alone our baby will be doubling in length and quadrupling in weight. Our baby's ears have moved from the neck to the sides of the head. Eyes have been gradually moving from the side of the head to the front of the face. The neck continues to get longer, and the chin no longer rests on the chest. Sexual development continues. It is even more obvious to tell a male baby from a female baby just by looking at the external genitalia. Our baby is the size of your fist measuring at about 4 inches (about 9cm) and weighing almost 1 oz (25g). 

Pooja is now feeling better than before and starting little work.  She can feel the baby move inside and the baby usually starts movement in the night....looks like we will have sleepless nights wen she comes.

13 Weeks

Our baby is growing rapidly; its growth is particularly noticeable from now through about 24 weeks. The baby has doubled in length since the 7th week, measuring at 2½ to 3 inches long (6.5-7.8cm) and weighing at about ½ and ¾ oz (13-20g) roughly the size of a peach. Changes in the fetal weight have also been tremendous during the last 8-10 weeks of pregnancy. One interesting change is the slowdown in growth of baby's head compared to the rest of the body. By week 21 the head is about one third of the baby's body and at birth baby's head is only ¼ the size of its body. Baby's body accelerates in growth as the fetal head slows down in growth. Baby's face is more human like now; eyes that started out at the sides are now closer together on the face. External genitalia have developed enough so a male can be distinguished from a female baby. Our baby's vocal cords have begun to form. Our baby's hand is structurally complete and consists of 27 bones held together by a complex network of ligaments. Similarly baby's foot is also completely formed with the toes, heel and bones all in place.

12 Weeks

 Our baby is about 2½ inches (6cm) long and weighs ¼ of an oz. Small amount of hair are beginning to cover baby's body, fingernails and toenails are beginning to grow, and our baby's first permanent tooth buds are forming. The digestive system is able to produce contractions that push food through the bowels. It is also able to absorb sugar. The thyroid gland has started to function and the fetal nervous system is beginning to mature. The amniotic sac which houses our baby contains about 1½ oz of fluid and by the time of delivery, the sac will contain about 3-4 cups of fluid. The doctor is able to detect baby's heartbeat from now on using a Doppler, but we did that a few weeks back

A thing that i forgot adding last week.  The would be baby is moving very much in the womb. Me, Daksh and Shivam all have heard the same and enjoyed.  Pooja is still not able to eat much but better than before.

11 Weeks

Our baby is approximately 1¾ - 2½ inches (4.4-6 cm) in length and weighs about 0.3 oz (8gm). Our baby is about the size of a large lime. Fetal growth is rapid now. The head makes up nearly half of its length. Fingernails appear. Our baby's external genitalia are beginning to show more distinguishing features and within another 3 weeks, the sex differentiation process will be complete. 

The vomiting sensations and weakness still prevails.  But at least Pooja now feels hungry every now and then.  On the 6th we have to go for the regular check up with doc.  Last 2-3 weeks have been night mare for her.  The last two pregnancies were not like this.  I still keep teasing her that she is carrying twins even though the sonography has detected only one fetus.
