Mom! I’m working out!

What do you think your baby is doing in your belly now? It is hard to believe, but inside you there is a whole gym, where the little pea trains, trains, and trains some more. She is preparing to be top in her class in breathing, sucking, and swallowing — these skills will be very useful when she leaves her cozy house. There are daily aerobic exercises in her busy schedule: kicks, “scissors”, and various hand movements. Luckily your athlete is so small, that you do not feel like a punching bag, yet!

It is difficult to imagine, but, although the baby is so strong for her size, she looks very fragile. Her skin is very thin, almost transparent, and developing blood vessels are visible under it. And her skeleton is only beginning to ossify (if you did an X-ray, then her small skeleton inside you would already be visible — it sounds interesting and strange at the same time, but of course, it's better to do without X-rays).

People may have already guessed about your pregnancy. And all because your little one is growing too fast and has already reached the size of a large pear. It's funny that if you ate a big pear, it wouldn't exactly stick out ???

Every week her face is more and more like a cute baby. Perhaps now, if you saw her face, you could see your features there. And even though the baby cannot eat something tasty, the taste buds in her tongue are already forming.

If you have an ultrasound, you can finally find out what it is, a boy or a girl. But do not be discouraged if this still remains a mystery. Whether it will be possible to see the genitalia depends on the clarity of the image and the position of your child. They say, girls usually hide and turn their backs, and boys already at such a young age are proud of their dignity and show it off. Soon you’ll know if this rule holds true!
