Week 13

Introduction

Welcome to week 13 of your pregnancy!

What’s Mama up to?

Woo-hoo! You’ve reached the end of the first trimester. Given that 80% of women will experience nausea or vomiting, you might be happy to see the end of this trimester and the start of the second. Usually morning sickness will settle down by this stage, but don’t be surprised if it lingers for a little longer.

Interestingly you may experience an increase in sex drive in week 13. You might also notice changes in vaginal discharge. Provided it isn’t sore or itchy, this shouldn’t be anything to worry about.

What’s baby up to?

Your baby is approximately the size of a jalapeno and now has fingerprints and vocal chords!
