Pregnancy trimester 3

If you could look inside, you’d see thin little hairs developing on your baby’s eyebrows and above her lip. Don’t worry if you’re having a girl, they’re very fine! 

Two more weeks left of the second trimester. You are gearing up for the home stretch. Your baby’s sense of touch is starting to blossom.

Your baby’s growth is in overdrive right about now. So many exciting developments on such a tiny little being! Read more about this week.

As D-Day fast approaches, your little one is starting to turn upside down. What a clever baby! But you already knew that.

Your baby is about the size of a grapefruit! Have you felt her move or kick yet? If not, you should be able to in the next weeks!

From now until she makes her grand entrance, your baby will continue to put on about a half a pound per week, or around 220 g. She is already 47 cm long and weighs 2.7 kg!

Your little lodger weighs around 335g now – weigh a grapefruit in your hand and that’s about how heavy she is.

You’re coming to the end of your first trimester. Congratulations!

Can you feel the baby reacting to noises and your caresses yet? Towards the end of the second trimester is when that starts to happen, so be on the lookout.

As you inch your way towards the finish line – you will be giving birth in about ten weeks! – your baby is still growing by leaps and bounds, even opening her eyes this week.

Your baby is already a pretty impressive 15 mm long.  Though you won’t feel it yet, she’s on the move.

Every day, your baby develops more, getting ready to make an entrance into the world in just under 10 weeks. Has it gone fast or is the time creeping by for you? Every mum feels it differently.

The start of your second trimester is the start of lots of new development milestones for your baby.

In about a month, you’ll be holding that little bundle of joy in your arms. Until then, there’s still lots of polishing and refinement going on inside you. Read more about this week.

Lots of leaps and bounds happening in week 18, from nerve cells multiplying to the beginnings of fingerprints.

Time’s up! If he hasn’t already, your baby will arrive in the next few days. If he doesn’t come out voluntarily, your doctor might give him a little nudge.

Your baby is now 29cm long from head to toe and weighs considerably over 550g. You have got around 16 more weeks to go!

About the size of a grape, your little one measures about 15 mm, but in a sitting position now. In other words, from his coccyx to the crown of his head. Learn more about this week.

Your little one is around 38 cm long from crown to toe and already weights about 1.2 kilos, a third of her birth weight. Her feet measure around 5½  cm – yes, they are tiny!
