So, I am officially 13 weeks yesterday! I am starting to feel much better with the nausea being very random and not everyday. Here is what is going on with the baby now. Your belly may soon be big enough to announce to the world that you're expecting, but your baby is still tiny. In fact, he's only about 3 inches long, crown to rump — roughly the size of a jumbo shrimp — and weighs just about an ounce. Despite being so small, there's a fully formed baby inside your womb now who's much more proportional than he was a few weeks ago. In previous weeks, your baby's head dwarfed the rest of him — but now his head is only about a third the size of his body. His tiny, unique fingerprints are already in place. His kidneys and urinary tract are functional, and he's starting to urinate out the amniotic fluid he's been swallowing. As you start your second trimester, most of your baby's critical development will be completed, and your odds of miscarriage drop considerably. The picture above is what the baby looks like now. Its in weeks post ovulation not weeks post last period. The little one is the approximate size of the baby right now. Its so little!
