All about your baby

She/he is moving, but is still too small for to you to feel. The reproductive organs are developing, but if you could peek in her womb, you could not tell whether it is a girl or a boy. At this early stage the doctor can not answer this question.

How big is the baby?

Your baby is long and a little over one inch and weighs about three grams.

Sensitivity to touch: the reason is increased secretion of hormones. That feeling of discomfort will gradually disappear before the end of the first trimester. Special bra for pregnant women will reduce this discomfort.

The nipples become darker and bigger. Scientists assume that darker nipples and circle around them serve so your baby can catch sight of the breast. You will notice small bumps in a circle around the nipple; These are called Montgomery's bumps, which secrete an oily liquid for nipple to become soft and elastic and to protect the skin from infection.

Breasts are inevitably increasing: some women wear for one to two numbers larger bra. Scientists have calculated that almost two kilograms of  your total increased weigh is in breasts.

Secretion of colostrum: colostrum, yellow or golden color milk, is the first food that your baby receives after birth. It is  beginning to form in breasts at this early stage of pregnancy. It is rich in nutrients and immunoglobulin, which protects the baby against infection and disease. If you secret colostrum, do not worry. Gently wash and dry the nipples with towel. Colostrum can occure at this early stage in some women, and it is not an indicator of your ability to produce milk.

Pronounced veins on breasts: the reason is incresed blood flow to the breast.
