First
Trimester |
3-4 Weeks
|
At three
weeks, your baby is only the
size of an apple seed, but the
heart has begun to beat.
|
6 Weeks
|
Although baby
is still much less than an inch,
fingers and toes can be seen as
they begin to develop. |
9 Weeks
|
Approximately
at nine weeks, fingerprints are
developing as well as
fingernails and hair! Also, in
about a week, baby can stretch
and even make fists. |
 |
Second
Trimester |
3 Months
|
Baby sleeps
and wakes up — and soon will be
sleeping on regular intervals.
Little exercises are performed
as baby moves its head or curls
its toes. |
4 Months
|
Baby can hear
mom's soothing heartbeat as well
as muffled voices and noises
from outside. Soon, baby will
start to suck its thumb and
kick! |
5 Months
|
Sh-h-h,
baby's hearing is getting
better. Loud noises can make
baby jump! |
 |
Third
Trimester |
|
6 Months
|
Baby may
start to hiccup, causing a
jumping sensation in your belly. |
7 Months
|
Baby's senses
have developed and become more
sensitive, including taste buds!
Baby can "see" changes in light
and may be blinking frequently
in response. |
8-9 Months
|
Baby
continues to grow and its bones
are getting stronger. By this
time, baby will start to gain
weight rapidly, approximately
one half pound per week! Mom
will start to feel less movement
as baby doesn't have much room
to move anymore. |
