However, rest assured, this situation will change in the coming days. It is at this particular month of your pregnancy that your figure of future mother begins to take shape! Maybe the skin of your breasts becomes darker.

Some women may notice a line that appears between their navel and pubic bone. By the end of the third month, your uterus reaches the size of a grapefruit. Your baby will be fully formed; he will only put on weight and continue to develop certain vital organs and as a result your risk of miscarriage significantly reduces.

Your body adjusts to the change. Baby growth at the third month at this stage we no longer talk of an embryo but a fetus. The future baby continues to grow: in one month, his weight increases from about 5 grams to 50 grams and his size passes from 4 mm to 11 cm. His skeleton begins to develop more and more accurately and his organs are functioning. As the brain, nerves and muscles of your baby start to work, he begins to move, he clenches his fists, he stretches the toes of his feet however due to his small size, and you don't feel it yet. His face also starts to take shape as his ears; nose, eyes, mouth, teeth buds and chin develop. His head gets rounded, eyelids cover his eyes, his lips take shape and his nostrils open. It's a real little human being that you will discover through ultrasound.

The baby now asserts his identity as he already has his own unique fingerprints. At this stage, the sex of the baby can sometimes be determined. However, in general, the genital organs of your baby are still forming and you probably cannot distinguish the sex of your baby yet. Baby can now feel your hand on your belly. Your baby has a reflex to suck and will swallow amniotic fluid, the taste of which varies according to your nutrition. You will make your first encounter with your baby between the 9th and 11th week of your pregnancy.

You will see his head, his face, his belly, different members of his body and various other organs. You can even hear his heart beating. With a little luck, your doctor can tell you whether you are expecting a boy or a girl but generally you should wait until the next echo to be sure on the sex of your future baby. During the third month of your pregnancy, your doctor will measure the thickness of the neck of the baby to determine any abnormalities. If the thickness of the neck of the baby is more than 3 mm, your doctor will recommend that a chromosome analysis be performed, the only test which can determine potential abnormalities in your baby.
