You can only monitor how the future baby is developing on an ultrasound scan. But you’re not going to run every week for an examination, will you? Although the procedure is harmless, it is not worth overdoing it.
A girl can feel pregnancy even before the test shows two strips. Among the earliest signs that you will soon become a mother, there may be excessive fatigue, drowsiness, mild nagging pains in the lower abdomen and back, and a feeling as if motion sickness on the go. All the most serious symptoms – toxicosis, for example, a change in taste preferences – will keep you company much later.
As the baby grows and develops in the mother’s womb. the sensations will change. At first, the tummy is completely invisible: for those who are preparing to experience the joys of motherhood for the first time, it may be invisible for up to 20 weeks. And then it will begin: the clothes do not fit, and it is simply impossible to find a comfortable position to rest.
But the baby is not just wasting time at this time. He is busy with a very important matter: he builds the human body practically from scratch, from two small cells. He needs to be very strong to walk this path. And mom is the best assistant in this difficult matter.
And so that the changes in your own body do not scare you so much, we have collected funny pictures: we compared how the size of the child changes week after week, from the moment of conception to the very birth, with fruits and vegetables. Let’s clarify: all sizes, of course, are approximate, averaged. Much depends on your individual characteristics, genetics, heredity and other factors.
