The Pregnancy Diary 3

• The day I completed 3 months

The initial 3 months (which make up the first trimester) are considered the risky phase where anything might happen. Hence there was relief then the hurdle was crossed and sort of a "mission accomplished" joy (though obviously there was a long way to go still :-p). Also the first trimester is when a woman gets most of the morning-sickness/nausea and luckily I didn't have anything. Nothing at all :-D.

Infact after completion of 3 months I got nausea at times and few other minor problems….which is just part of this phase. I realized if I will accept it I will be happy….So now all changes happening on daily basis I have accepted as no choice ;-)…no cribbing…at times I got irritated but it’s ok….Thanks god I am still working it keeps me busy.

Meanwhile, I was subjected to more tests, Blood test and all and checking it for everything from the RH-factor to HIV. Needless to say, everything was normal :). Thank god for that!!!

And the best updates I got ....it was like this

"By the end of this month your baby will be recognizable as a human. The face is formed, complete with 32 permanent teeth buds. There are even nails at the end of the fingers and toes. Cartilage bones are forming rapidly, and the muscles have already begun to be laid down. Your baby will even move as the brain, nerves and muscles begin to function. However, baby's small size makes his movements undetectable.

Your baby has a sucking reflex already in place, and may suck on his thumb or fist. He is also practicing swallowing the amniotic fluid, and at this point is able to excrete it as urine.At the end of the twelfth week your baby will be around 3.5 inches long and weigh 1.7 oz."

So now I am a HAPPY TO BE MOM...
