Week 13!


  • Your infant is about 2.91 inches (7.4cm) and weighs around 0.81 ounce (23gm) - This is about the same weight as 4 quarters.

  • If you could peek in again you may spot your baby as he begins to practice inhaling and exhaling movements

  • Eyes and ears continue to move and develop

  • Baby's neck is getting longer, and the chin no longer is resting on his chest

  • Her hands are becoming more functional - Your baby may find it comforting to start playing with her fist.

  • At this point all nourishment is received from the placenta

  • On your next doctor visit you should be able to hear heartbeat with a Doppler by now - (Don't worry though if you can't, the heartbeat can be confirmed through U/S). Your baby's heartbeat is much more rapid than your own and may remind you of the race towards birth that he is running!
