Week 12 Of Your Pregnancy
Your baby is now 6 centimetres long and weighs about 30 grams. The face continues to be sculpted and nails appear on the fingers and toes.
It is around this time that you may feel your baby start moving or wriggling around for the first time.
Changes To Your Body
Week 12 Of Your Pregnancy
Most women also experience a surge in the hormones progesterone and estrogen, which swells the breasts.
Your vision may also become blurry. The extra fluid your body retains during pregnancy thickens the outer layer of your eye, which can slightly distort your sight. Your eyesight should self-correct within two months of your baby’s birth.
Lifestyle Considerations
As you are near the end of the first trimester of pregnancy this is an ideal time to break the news to your boss.
Good Advice
Don’t apologize or feel guilty when explaining to anyone (including your boss) that you are pregnant. You are entitled to pregnancy leave. Handle the matter like a professional no matter what type of reaction you get.
