Feelings during pregnancy in 12-13 weeks
At this time the uterus is already passing from the pelvic area into the abdominal cavity, and therefore the pressure on the urea decreases and by the hands it is possible to feel the uterus just above the pubis.
Many, especially thin women, have not yet seen any changes, but some, in particular pregnant women not for the first time, can already boast of an outstanding forward tummy. It's time to take care of the new wardrobe, which will not squeeze the growing uterus. After the toxicosis passes, a woman can eat variedly, but not overeat, because gaining excess weight is very easy.
Surveys at the end of the first trimester
As a rule, it is at 12-13 weeks of pregnancy that the woman undergoes the first planned ultrasound. Now this survey is most informative and you can determine the exact duration of pregnancy, as well as identify the risk of major chromosomal abnormalities.
The task of the first ultrasound is to identify the risk of genetic pathologies, such as Down syndrome, Edwards. Particular attention is paid to the size of the collar zone of the fetus, which judges the possible presence of chromosomal abnormalities.
Fetal development at 12-13 weeks
The kid of this age is constantly in motion, muscles and ligaments are getting stronger day by day. The pancreas is already producing insulin, the digestive tract is developing, and special villi are appearing in it, which serve to process food.
