WEEK 13 TO 14 PREGNANCY

HOW YOUR BABY'S GROWING
Your baby now has his own unique set of fingerprints!
Your midwife may be able to hear your baby’s heartbeat.
She’ll do this with a sonicaid, a small device that is placed on your tummy.
Hearing your baby’s heartbeat for the first time is often quite a special moment in a pregnancy.

HOW YOUR BODY'S CHANGING
Morning sickness will hopefully have disappeared, though it may last longer for some women.
If this is not your first pregnancy, your bump may already be showing by now.
If you’re lucky you may begin to feel fluttering movements.
women don’t feel their baby move until weeks 20 to 23 though, particularly their first pregnancy.

HOW YOU NIGHT BE FEELING
Most women feel relieved to have passed week 12, and feel they have more energy.
Enjoy the next few months.

HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHY PREGNANCY
You don’t need to ‘eat for two’ but you do need to eat food that is good for you and your baby.
Drink plenty of water to keep you and your baby hydrated
