Your uterus continues to grow:it is now the size of a grapefruit. Your belly begins to round, your hips widen, your breasts get bigger and you continue to gain weight steadily. Good news:at the beginning of the third month of pregnancy, nausea begins to fade, fatigue is less present, and you begin to regain all your energy. However, be sure to rest if you feel the need, and remember to eat a varied and balanced diet to avoid digestion problems, and promote your baby's good growth.
At this stage of pregnancy, almost all of your baby's vital organs are now well formed. The fingers of his hands and feet stand out perfectly, his face becomes more refined… The first hair and nails are even beginning to appear! He is starting to move well and can even suck his thumb. At the end of month 3 of pregnancy, your baby weighs approximately 65 grams.
If you haven't already, make an appointment for the first pregnancy ultrasound. If possible, go with the future dad, because it is an emotional moment:you will finally discover your baby in pictures. It is also an important medical examination that allows you to check a number of things. At 3 months pregnant, the risk of miscarriage recedes. This may be the right time to announce the pregnancy to your loved ones, and to your employer to best organize your future maternity leave. Also, start learning about the different birth preparation methods, so you can choose the one that's right for you.
