What happens to the fetus
The embryo began to look like a human.It weighs 5 g and is about 30 mm tall. It has already completely lost its tail. The heart is able to work independently. It supplies blood to the entire body. A clear rhythm of its beating has formed. But the liver is undergoing active transformations. It has many changes ahead. It does not yet perform the necessary functions. The structure of the body is becoming more complex. It is connected to the head by the neck. Shoulders and forearms have appeared, as well as knee-elbow joints. Fingers with tiny nails have formed on all limbs. The mouth and ears are clearly visible. The baby is already active. He swallows anatomical fluid, brings his finger to his lips and smiles. Quite recently, he learned to move the corners of his mouth. The baby is actively moving in the womb. He pushes off its surface with his legs. The baby makes dozens of movements a day. He squints his eyes, clenches his fists and moves his limbs. The umbilical cord has become long enough that it can move throughout the entire space of the uterus. The formation of the brain is quite important for the development of the fetus. At this stage, it is already functioning intensively, producing about 250 neurons per minute. The immune and lymphatic systems begin to function. The diaphragm has already formed.

What does the future mother experience?
A woman should monitor changes in hercondition. The thyroid gland of the fetus is now beginning to form, so it is necessary to add enough iodine to the diet. The rudiments of milk teeth have already formed. Calcium is necessary for their further development. It is contained in fermented milk products. The excretory system of the embryo is actively working, increasing the load on the mother's kidneys. To maintain their health, you can drink lingonberry and cranberry fruit drinks. The skin on the abdomen becomes darker. A contrasting spot appears in the form of a stripe descending down from the navel. This is caused by increased production of melatonin. For the same reason, pigment spots appear on the face in the sun. Tanning is contraindicated for pregnant women. When exposed to the open sun for a long time, you need to use a cream with a protection factor of 50. Even a weak noise can wake a woman. After that, she cannot fall asleep for a long time. The emotional background remains unstable due to the activity of hormones. The woman experiences frequent mood swings and irritability. She is absent-minded and impulsive. It is difficult for her to concentrate. At night, the excitement does not subside, so it is not easy to fall asleep. At this time, insomnia begins, caused by the work of the cerebral cortex. Because of these sensations, sleep is not deep and superficial. It is accompanied by strange vivid dreams. Toxicosis, frequent urination and stomach problems do not disappear. Drowsiness and fatigue negatively affect the immune system. During this period, it is important to take care of it, since the risk of thrush increases. You need to rest more and walk in the fresh air. After such a walk, it will be much easier to fall asleep.
Appearance of discharge and examination
Vaginal discharge is moderate.It has a uniform structure without a strong odor. If clots, curdled lumps or bubbles appear, you should see a doctor. A change in color to yellow or greenish is also an alarming symptom. The appearance of blood clots or brown streaks is a reason for urgent hospitalization if pain increases in the lower part of the uterus. These symptoms indicate a spontaneous miscarriage. If medical care is timely, the child can be saved. Brown streaks after intercourse are normal if the condition is not accompanied by pain.
Difficult changes occur with the babyPhoto: Getty A planned ultrasound can be performed now if it is approved by your doctor. For a woman, this will be the first meeting with the baby. She will see the movements of the legs and arms, make out little fingers clenched into a cam. The doctor will determine how the pregnancy proceeds. Using ultrasound, he listens to the fetal heartbeat. If necessary, the doctor will prescribe general blood and urine tests, as well as a blood test for hCG, Rh, blood group and HIV. At this time, the formation of the most important organs comes to an end. If the pregnancy proceeds normally, the threat of congenital abnormalities is over.
What happens when twins become pregnant?
The babies are developing, their organs are forming, they are growingexceeded 3 cm. The risk of anomalies has almost passed. During the examination, faces with expressive facial expressions are visible. These are still embryos, but they look like humans. Teeth are developing inside the gums, so you need to eat calcium in sufficient quantities. Clothes become tight due to the rounded belly, grown breasts and increased blood volume. Women behave nervously. Attacks of fear are replaced by drowsiness during the day and insomnia at night. Toxicosis decreases, you have to go to the toilet often.
