The 3rd month of waiting for a baby: the course of pregnancy and the development of the fetus by weeks, which organs and systems of the body are improving in their structure and functioning, what changes a pregnant woman notices in her own body, what sensations can occur - this article is devoted to this.

So, you are in the 3rd month. Interestingly, you may still not look pregnant to others, but your own feelings and internal changes are already more than obvious to you. What is going on in your body right now?

Despite the fact that the scales do not yet record significant changes in indicators, you may notice that the clothes become tight. Perhaps you have already removed things that are tight-fitting to your figure. Soon you will visit the section of clothes for expectant mothers. If this is your second or third pregnancy, you probably already got and tried on your favorite outfits left over from the previous one.

Choose clothes that will keep you feeling attractive. Comfort, of course, is above all, but until you have signs of pregnancy that are obvious to others, it may be difficult for you to believe that after three or four months you can begin to evaluate your reflection in the mirror extremely biased. Therefore, choose the most feminine outfits.

The expectant mother at this stage has many reasons for joy. So, you probably noticed that nails and hair began to grow faster. There is no exact explanation for this - maybe hormones, maybe increased blood circulation, but the main thing is that such changes allow you to glow with pleasure even more. While carrying a baby, many grow their hair: whether superstition is to blame, whether a change in priorities - each woman will have her own explanation. But the fact remains: rarely does hair naturally acquire such strength and radiance as when a mother is waiting for a baby. Enjoy your natural beauty!

You may experience toxicosis, nausea and heartburn. All of these conditions are normal in your position. But that doesn't mean you can't do anything about them—there are ways to alleviate the symptoms.

The best way to fight heartburn is to reduce the portion size at each meal, which should be increased to 5 - 7 per day. The habit of eating tightly three times a day (if you had one) should now be a thing of the past. Whether you're expecting a baby or breastfeeding, the above dietary guidelines will form the basis of your new dietary philosophy.
Another recommendation to help avoid an attack of heartburn after a meal would be the strong advice not to take a horizontal position immediately after eating.
And of course, do not forget that fatty and spicy foods can leave behind very unpleasant sensations in the stomach and in other moments of your life, so try to exclude such dishes from the menu during pregnancy (and not remember about them after).

If you're experiencing bouts of nausea, chances are you haven't started gaining weight yet, and you may even have lost it. Let this not bother you, normally women rarely begin to recover already in the first trimester, and if this happens, then within 1 - 1.5 kg. Rest assured, in the coming months you will still take yours. But don't overdo it! A good increase is considered to be within 10 - 12 kg for the entire period of expectation of the baby (for women with normal weight before pregnancy).

Some women, even at such times, may notice the appearance of stretch marks on the skin of the abdomen, chest, thighs and buttocks. Gradual weight gain reduces the risk of their occurrence, it is more beneficial for both of you than sudden jumps on the scale. Exercising and moisturizing your skin will also help prevent stretch marks.

Check with your doctor about the use of any products that you are going to apply to the skin, because they will enter the bloodstream of both you and your baby, which may be unsafe. The doctor will definitely give you recommendations on which cream for stretch marks for pregnant women may suit you best.

In any case, it all depends on the elasticity of the skin, and this factor is hereditary. Therefore, either stretch marks are destined to appear, or not.

If stretch marks appear, after childbirth they will begin to brighten, but - let's not give you too much hope - they will not completely go away. Therefore, as always, prevention is better than cure. If you have a tendency to them (ask your mom), watch your weight, do exercises and moisturize your skin as naturally as possible.

And don't forget to read the material on self-care during pregnancy.

Milk glands. As for the mammary glands, stretch marks may also appear on them. Also, in addition to darkening the nipples and gradually increasing their size, you may find that the veins under the skin of the mammary glands become more noticeable, and the breast acquires a bumpy structure, which is felt when probing. This is normal: milk ducts form in the breast, and colostrum in them, which can begin to be released during massage as early as the second trimester.

Fatigue. Hormonal changes, lack of sleep, morning sickness - these and other reasons can cause you to constantly feel tired, lethargic and overwhelmed. It is very important for you to get enough sleep now, so try to create the most comfortable conditions for this, including staying up late in front of the TV, spending less time on the computer or watching content on digital devices such as a tablet or smartphone. Scientists believe that the blue light of screens, including the smallest ones, interferes with the release of melatonin, the hormone responsible for sleep.

Mood swings. A change in mood is usually observed in the 2nd and especially in the 3rd month of pregnancy. Significant changes in hormonal balance (primarily due to estrogen and progesterone) affect the level of neurotransmitters - chemicals in the nervous system that are responsible for mood.

You can be both overwhelmed with enthusiasm about the pregnancy that has taken place, and worried about some aspects of the upcoming changes in life: will I be a good mother, how will the birth go, are my husband and I ready for such responsibility, will we cope financially, will my life be the same?

Pregnancy is a turning point in the life of a woman and family, associated with both physical and emotional changes. Understanding the fact that they are inevitable in such a fateful event will help you balance your inner state and tune in a positive way in accepting future changes in your life. You are not alone, millions of other women are experiencing the same internal transformations and emotions at the same second.
In addition to this psychological pressure on the psyche of the expectant mother, mood swings in the first trimester may be associated with the physiological stress experienced by the body in connection with your "interesting position". Hormonal shifts and changes in metabolism also affect how you feel about each new day of your pregnancy.
If you do not work on improving the emotional background, you may be among that part of pregnant women who go from a state of abrupt mood changes to a state of depression, which is not at all necessary in your current situation. Therefore, already now, when you notice that you cannot always control the change of moods during the day, you need to start working on yourself.

To help overcome the influence of mood swings on your overall emotional background, the following remedies can:

steal a few minutes of rest during the day;
get enough sleep;
eat healthy, energetically and biologically rich food;
stay physically active, exercise, walk more;
spend more time with the father of your unborn child;
if possible arrange for yourself a daytime sleep;
read good books, watch good movies, listen to good music;
meet friends;
try yoga and/or meditation;
know that you are not alone, millions of other pregnant women experience the same condition.

At the end of the first trimester, though not earlier than the 12th - 13th week, you will notice a weakening of the symptoms of early toxicosis.

The issue of proper nutrition is now more acute than ever: your baby is about to begin a noticeable growth. You both want quality food, as natural as possible and with minimal processing before it hits your fridge. Give preference to fresh fruits and vegetables, grains and cereals, lean meat and fish from the natural habitat, dairy products, especially kefir and cottage cheese: the first will regulate the balance of the bacterial flora of your intestines, the second is necessary as the best source of calcium - after milk, which, in unlike fermented milk products, not everyone is well tolerated.

It is important that the daily diet contains not only products of all food groups, but also the necessary vitamins: folic acid, iron (with low hemoglobin), B vitamins, iodine, vitamin D if you rarely go to the sun. If your doctor has recommended other prenatal vitamins for you, do not forget about them.

There are different points of view regarding the harm and benefits of taking vitamins, from side effects and allergization at too high doses to early aging of the body with long-term use. But the use of vitamins necessary for the normal development of the child in low doses during the few months of pregnancy can hardly be considered a serious threat to your health and longevity.

Listen to yourself, your doctor, other people whose opinion you trust, and act in accordance with the emerging point of view. Believing in yourself and in a successful pregnancy is a guarantee that you will go through the next few months in pleasantly exciting, and not in tedious anticipation.

At the 3rd month after consulting a doctor, you can start doing Kegel exercises. They strengthen the vaginal muscles, which significantly helps in childbirth and after them - so say the mothers who performed these exercises before, during and after pregnancy.

The effect of them is noticeable not only in childbirth: toning the muscles of the pelvic floor helps to avoid the troubles associated with hemorrhoids and decreased control over urination, delicate problems that many pregnant women face.

The great advantage of Kegel exercises is that they can be done anytime, anywhere without anyone else having any idea. There are several techniques for their implementation, they are all very simple: to squeeze and unclench the muscles of the lower pelvis with different frequency and intensity, alternating with pauses of different duration. We talk more about this in an article on sports and exercise during pregnancy.

And now let's find out how your future baby develops in the 3rd month. We remind you that we indicate the obstetric gestational age. It is usually longer than the embryonic by about 2 weeks and is counted from the first day of the last menstruation.

The child, which at the beginning of the 3rd month is called an embryo, and at the end of it a fetus, is still extremely small, but is already preparing for an imminent growth and weight gain.

9th week of pregnancy

Main event: the first movements of the embryo.

The appendage in the form of a tail, which was located at the end of the spine, disappears at this stage.
The umbilical cord is fully formed and supplies blood to the cardiovascular system of the embryo.
The embryo begins to make the first movements.
Practically formed joints.
The formation of the inner part of the ear is completed, now its outer part is being laid and begins to develop.
All major internal organs continue to develop, the uterus increases in size.
The internal reproductive organs of the embryo begin to form.

Fruit size: height - 2 cm, weight - 3 g.

10th week of pregnancy

The main event: the end of the embryonic period of development.

The most critical period of development has passed, now the active growth of the fetus will begin.
Blood circulates through the baby's cardiovascular system.
The facial part of the head continues to develop, facial features are already clearly visible. The eyelid is formed and now closes the eyes, they will open again at the border of the second and third trimesters.
The arms and legs are very clearly formed, with tiny thin fingers, the membranes between which disappear.
The head is still very large in comparison with the body: in size it approaches almost half the entire length of the body.
The auricles look recognizable, but are still quite low.

Fruit size: height - 3 cm, weight - 5 g.

11th week of pregnancy

The main event: the beginning of the fetal period of development.

The main organs of the fetus continue to develop.
The face is almost fully formed, it is wide, the eyes are set far apart, the eyelids have developed. The ears gradually begin to move towards those areas where they are anatomically destined to be permanently fixed.
Muscles develop, movements of the arms and legs become more energetic, but the movements of the fetus are not yet felt by the mother.
Hair and nails begin to grow.
The skin of the fetus is very thin, blood vessels show through it.
Bones begin to harden.
The external genitalia are forming, after a few weeks they will become visible on ultrasound.
The kidneys begin to work, the fetus produces urine, returning waste through the placenta back to the mother.
The fetus inhales and exhales small amounts of amniotic fluid to allow its lungs to grow and develop.
The placenta at this stage of development is almost a separate organ. The volume of amniotic fluid will gradually increase until the 40th week.

Fruit dimensions: height - 5 cm, weight - 10 g.

12th week of pregnancy

Main event: completion of the formation of the placenta.

As the muscular system develops, the fetus becomes able to stretch and push. He clenches and unclenches his fingers, curls his toes, pushes and kicks with all four limbs. If you put your hand on the stomach, the baby will react, but you will not feel it: the fetus is still too small for you to be able to fix its movements.
Nerve cells are rapidly dividing, and neural connections are formed in the brain.
The eyes begin to move closer to the center of the face, which is increasingly acquiring normal human features. The ears also move closer to the right place.
Significantly increased size and weight of the fetus. The process of formation of tissues and organs continues.
The intestine moves further into the body of the fetus (initially it is located outside the abdominal cavity).
The liver begins to function, it will be responsible for cleansing the blood and storing nutrients.
The pancreas begins to produce insulin.
The doctor can already listen to the fetal heartbeat with an obstetric stethoscope.

Fruit dimensions: height - 6 cm, weight - 15 g.

13th week of pregnancy

Main event: end of term.

The head is now not half, but one third of the total size of the fetus.
Until now, the head has outstripped the body in its growth, but now the torso begins to grow faster.
The legs still need to grow to become longer and the arms are starting to take on the right proportions in relation to the body. Now the baby can reach his mouth with his fist.
The eyes and ears of the fetus continue to develop and move towards the cherished goal.
The neck lengthens, the chin no longer rests on the chest.
A skin pattern (so-called fingerprints) becomes visible on the fingertips.
Almost all internal organs are formed, but they cannot yet function independently of the mother. The uterus is already palpable, although the pregnancy itself is not yet noticeable.
The central nervous system, heart, limbs, eyes and ears are at a critical stage in their development.

Fruit dimensions: height - 5 cm, weight - 10 g.

At 11 to 14 weeks, you'll have your first screening, an ultrasound (ultrasound), and finally meet your baby. Ultrasound helps to track the normal development of the placenta, fixes the dynamics of the development of the systems and organs of the child, and corrects the timing of delivery. Despite the fact that this invaluable procedure for doctors provides a huge array of necessary information, it nevertheless raises questions and concerns among some of the audience of expectant mothers.

Sometimes pregnant women are worried about whether some other methods of invasive (with penetration into the amniotic cavity) diagnostics (for example, a paternity test, etc.) are harmful.

In the first trimester, ultrasound is prescribed by a specialist in charge of a woman's pregnancy, primarily to establish the fact itself, as well as the duration of pregnancy. Usually it is carried out in the interval from the 11th to the 14th week.
Ultrasound is a procedure that uses high frequency sound waves to diagnose the condition of the placenta and fetus in a pregnant woman. This is a non-invasive method that, if used correctly, does not cause proven harm to the unborn child. In general, the value of ultrasound during pregnancy can not be overestimated.
At the same time, many mothers note that babies often hide from the sensor that transmits sound vibrations. But think about it: we ourselves would hardly have reacted differently to a sound or light impact, the strength and duration of which we are not able to control. We close our eyes as we step out of the dark hallway into the bright sunlight, startle at the sharp siren of a passing car, and mute the sound as another commercial starts to play on TV. These are all normal human reactions in response to stimulation received by our senses.

Therefore, the question of the ratio of harm and benefit from a procedure that allows you to establish the fact of pregnancy, make sure that it is correct and compare the development of the fetus in dynamics with the norms, should not cause painful reflection.

However, the long-term harm from frequent and/or prolonged use of ultrasound waves is not yet fully understood. Therefore, ultrasound during pregnancy should only be performed by qualified personnel and only for medical purposes. Remind yourself of this when you feel like you don't have enough pre-birth photos of your baby.

To avoid risks, Russian practice of pregnancy management has established a standard: ultrasound is performed three times during the entire period - once in each trimester - in order to make sure that the placenta and fetus develop according to the norms derived from many years of monitoring the course of pregnancy in hundreds of millions of women. And only if necessary (according to some indications), the doctor may prescribe an additional ultrasound examination.
Invasive diagnostic methods are widely used to determine paternity and in a number of special cases to determine how the pregnancy and fetus develop. They involve penetration into the uterine cavity and sampling of amniotic fluid, as well as tissues and cells of the unborn baby. This kind of diagnosis allows you to establish or exclude the possibility of defects and malformations of the fetus.
Physicians always communicate to pregnant women the pros and cons of these procedures, as there is some evidence that they are not 100% safe. Therefore, discussions on this topic do not subside.
The decision in favor of the procedure is not easy, it requires consideration by all family members together with the leading doctor, and, of course, when making a choice, one should take into account the totality of factors influencing it.

With the end of the 13th week, your pregnancy enters the second trimester. Its first signs in the form of nausea and fatigue will remain in the past, you may even feel as if you have no pregnancy, but the growing tummy will not leave you or those around you in any doubt: a new life is growing inside you! Health to you and your future baby!

9 weeks pregnant

The 3rd month of pregnancy has begun. Congratulations! The most difficult stage is over. At this time, the level of hormones in the blood will reach a maximum, and then you will feel better. Most expectant mothers gradually pass unpleasant physical sensations, but emotional instability still persists. Outwardly, the “interesting position” is not yet noticeable to outsiders, but your favorite jeans have probably become cramped for you, because the tummy is slowly growing!

10 weeks pregnant

The 10th week of pregnancy marks the end of one of the most critical milestones in your baby's development. Usually the bulk of the pathologies appear before the end of this period. And if you successfully survived the first 10 weeks, then you can be more than 90% sure that the threat of defects in the child has passed.

11 weeks pregnant

By the 11th week of pregnancy, the baby's height is from 4. 4 to 6 cm, and the weight is about 8 g. The fetus has already formed all the systems of the body, and in the remaining 29 weeks they will develop, and the child will grow intensively.

12 weeks pregnant

By the 12th week of pregnancy, all the internal organs and systems of the child have already formed, and every day your baby is getting closer and closer to the usual appearance of a baby.

13 weeks pregnant

From the 13th week of pregnancy, you enter a new period for you - the second trimester, which is considered the easiest of the entire period of bearing a child. Early toxicosis is already over, the risk of abortion is minimal, and the stomach is not yet so big as to tire you with its heaviness.

Third month of pregnancy

Changes in the mother's body during the third month of pregnancy

During this period, body changes characteristic of pregnancy become noticeable. It is important to monitor your diet and regimen, properly care for your skin. Most expectant mothers are primarily concerned about the change in the abdomen at this time. This is especially true for those who are pregnant for the first time. As a rule, at this time it is difficult to notice any changes in the abdomen. If during repeated pregnancies this part of the body is already rounded by the 11-12th week, then this does not happen during the first. However, when carefully looking at herself in the mirror, the expectant mother always sees an increase in the abdomen, even at such a short time. But it rarely becomes noticeable to others. Much more often, the stomach at the 3rd month of pregnancy increases due to the overall weight gain. This is typical for those women who are overly fond of sweet and fatty foods. Therefore, you need to be careful about your diet. If the abdominal wall is no longer as firm and elastic as before, then the enlarged abdomen will be visible even at 10 weeks.

Otherwise, things are with the chest. At 8-12 weeks of pregnancy, the mother's breasts usually increase in size. As a rule, the smaller the size, the better the changes are noticeable. Not only the size, but also the shape of the breast changes. It also becomes more dense and elastic. This is due to the action of female sex hormones - estrogens. From the 9th week of pregnancy, prolactin is connected to them. Together with estrogens, it stimulates the growth of ducts and lobules, which is why the volume of the mammary glands increases. Starting from the 4-5th week of pregnancy, a woman may notice soreness, swelling and hardening of the breast. Sometimes these sensations are so pronounced that any touch becomes too sensitive, causing pain. In the first trimester, proper breast care is very important. Supportive underwear must be worn. On the one hand, it must be dense enough to provide the gland with the necessary support. On the other hand, it is very important that the bra does not squeeze or pinch the chest. With a small volume, it makes sense to wear sports tops with a wide base. Ideally, choose underwear without iron bones. During pregnancy, stretch marks often appear on the skin of the chest and abdomen, since it is these parts of the body that increase in size especially quickly. To prevent such manifestations, it is recommended to use oil-based creams.

Third month of pregnancy: symptoms and sensations

The third month brings new sensations to the expectant mother, which are also signs of bearing a child.
Woman may experience:
• frequent urination;
• pain in the lower back or back;
• discomfort in the joints;
• changes in gait;
• feeling of petrification of the abdomen;
• constipation.

All this applies to signs of pregnancy for a period of 8-12 weeks. Frequent urination is due to the growing uterus. During this period, it rises above the level of the pubis and compresses the bladder. From the second trimester, the body adapts to these changes, and the constant urge will disappear. However, closer to the birth, they will reappear.

Despite the fact that the uterus has not yet reached a significant size in three months, it is already beginning to change the center of gravity of the body. At first, this will manifest itself as a dull, aching pain in the lower back, fatigue, and a somewhat awkward gait. But over time, these manifestations will also disappear. Unpleasant sensations in the joints are usually associated with the action of relaxin, which increases their mobility. It is produced until the very birth.

A common symptom in the 3rd month of pregnancy is a feeling of petrification of the abdomen. It is connected with the tension of the muscular wall of the uterus. When her musculature contracts, the uterus shrinks and becomes hard as a rock. This sensation should stop quickly and not be painful. Otherwise, you need to see a doctor. Constipation is associated with a violation of intestinal motility. To improve the situation, it is necessary to eat dried fruits, fresh vegetables and fruits, wholemeal bread, drink plenty of water, eat fractionally and, of course, move actively. Toxicosis at 3 months of pregnancy usually does not occur, but changes in taste sensations are possible.

Discharge in the third month of pregnancy

Normally, during this period, the discharge from the genital tract should be of a moderate amount, light in color, odorless and should not be accompanied by unpleasant sensations (itching, burning). During this period, it is worth fearing bloody discharge from the genital tract, accompanied by pulling pains in the lower abdomen. This situation requires hospitalization.

Features of the development of the child at the 3rd month of pregnancy

During this period of pregnancy, the fetus gradually begins to receive nutrients from the placenta (and not from the uterine wall). The child acquires more and more features characteristic of a small person: the limbs and face are formed. There is still no hair on the head and the skin is glassy-transparent, but the internal organs are almost fully formed and functioning.

The eyes are covered with eyelids, there are earlobes, nails begin to grow on the baby's tiny fingers. Muscles are actively developing, the child moves, squeezes the handle into a fist and opens it. Facial expressions also develop: the fetus moves its lips, opens its mouth, wrinkles its forehead and frowns its eyebrows. Sometimes he swallows the amniotic fluid around him and even urinates into it. The size of the fetus at 3 months of pregnancy is 8-9centimeters with a weight of 20-40 grams.

In the third month, blood is formed in the liver and spleen of the fetus. Such fetal hematopoiesis continues throughout the entire period of pregnancy, only after childbirth is hematopoiesis formed according to the adult type (blood cells are formed in the bone marrow). In the fetus, the formation of the aorta, veins, arteries and capillaries ends.

Influenza during pregnancy

Sometimes pregnancy occurs during an epidemic of influenza and SARS. It is important to understand that any infectious disease at the end of the first trimester is dangerous primarily for the child. Maternal immunity has not yet weakened to such an extent that it cannot cope with the disease. However, the fetus can suffer even from the usual SARS and influenza. Dangerous is not only the direct toxic effect of viruses and bacteria on the developing body of the baby, but also the effects they produce, for example, hyperthermic. Fever in the third month of pregnancy can significantly disrupt the formation of organs and systems of the embryo. For a future mother, a body temperature of no more than 37.5 ° is acceptable. If the thermometer rises higher, it is urgent to take antipyretics. Paracetamol and, in some cases, ibuprofen are considered relatively safe during pregnancy. In connection with the foregoing, it is necessary to pay attention to prevention: do not attend mass events, often ventilate the room and work area, and wash hands more often with soap and water.

Examinations in the third month of pregnancy

At this stage of pregnancy, the expectant mother is waiting for a very important study, which is called screening for genetic abnormalities. Its purpose is to identify early chromosomal disorders such as Patau, Edwards and Down syndrome. As a result of these pathologies, babies are born with defects, impaired physical and mental development, and mental retardation. With Patau and Edwards syndrome, children are often not viable. Detection of chromosomal abnormalities at an early stage allows future parents to receive this information in time and make a decision to prolong or terminate the pregnancy.

The first screening can be done already at the end of the first trimester - at 11-14 weeks. It includes performing an expert ultrasound examination and donating blood. On ultrasound, many different criteria are determined - indicators of the growth and development of the child, but markers of chromosomal abnormalities are considered important. Two of them are the most significant:
• the thickness of the collar space, it is also called the size of the cervical fold of the fetus;
• the size of the nasal bones of the unborn child, or at least the determination of their presence.

After an ultrasound examination, a woman donates blood from a vein to identify special substances - human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and PAPP protein. A change in their level or ratio is also informative in relation to the risk of having a child with a chromosomal pathology. Risks need to be assessed using a special program, usually PRISCA.

During this period, the doctor of the antenatal clinic conducts a thorough examination of the pregnant woman: measures the size of the pelvis, height, weight, blood pressure. Also during this period it is necessary to visit a therapist and make an electrocardiogram.

What not to do in the third month of pregnancy:
• at signs of threat of interruption to exclude for a while a sexual life;
• flights over long distances;
• stress;
• night shifts;
• lifting weights.
