Staying Healthy and Happy During Pregnancy: A Fun Guide

Pregnancy is an incredible and transformative journey that brings joy, anticipation, and a few challenges along the way. Staying healthy during pregnancy is not only important for your own well-being but also for the health and development of your little one. Let's dive into this fun guide on how to stay healthy and happy during pregnancy!

Questions to Ask Your Doctor When Pregnant

Pregnancy is an exciting time in a woman's life, but it can also be overwhelming, especially for first-time mothers. One of the most important steps in taking care of yourself and your baby during pregnancy is to have open and honest communication with your doctor. In this blog, we will discuss some of the important questions to ask your doctor during pregnancy.

How to Choose the Right Pregnancy Doctor

Congratulations on your pregnancy journey! One of the most important decisions you'll make during this time is choosing the right doctor to support you and your baby. With so many different options and specialties, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. That's why we've created this fun and educational guide to help you choose the right doctor for your pregnancy journey.

Week 15 of Pregnancy

By your 15th week of pregnancy, your baby is about 4 inches long and weighs roughly 2.5 ounces. Right now, the little one is moving erratically (and a lot!), but you won’t feel much of these movements for another five weeks or so. 

Week 14 of Pregnancy

On your 14th week of pregnancy, your baby is about 3.5 to 4 inches long and weighs approximately 2 ounces. Now you have 5 months left before the little one arrives! 

Because their neck if growing longer and sturdier, the little bud’s head is standing more erect. This means that they may lie straight instead of dropping forward. 

Week 13 of Pregnancy

Right now, your baby is approximately 2.8 inches (7 cm) long from the head to the coccyx and weighs about 0.89 ounces (35 g).  

The little one’s arms and legs are growing more bones, allowing him or her to shift around randomly. Soon enough, they will be able to do more deliberate moves. Likewise, they will soon start sucking on their tiny thumb - this will help them develop the sucking reflex that they’ll need when feeding. 

Week 12 of Pregnancy

At 12 weeks, most of your baby’s systems are fully formed, though they still need to mature. These include: 

  • Circulatory system: heart, blood vessels, and blood 

  • Urinary system: kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra 

  • Reproductive system: reproductive organs specific to males or females 

Week 11 of Pregnancy

In the eleventh week, your baby is developing the facial characteristics that will make them unique (and oh, so cute!). This is thanks to the increasing growth of bones and cartilage that kicked off at greater speed during Week 10.  

So, your little one now has: 

  • Hands and feet that are no longer webbed and are growing nails 

  • Ears closer to their final destination and shape 

  • Open nasal passages (from the nostrils to the nasal cavity) 

Week 10 of Pregnancy

In the tenth week, you are in your third month of pregnancy and your baby has passed on from being an embryo to a fetus! Your little bud will continue developing during the fetal stage up until birth. 

So, what’s different now? For starters, they no longer look like a tadpole – distinct human features are becoming more and more apparent. This is mainly due to the development of bones and cartilage. Your baby now has tiny arms with elbows that they can flex, and the legs are growing small indentations that will become knees and ankles.
