PREGNANCY WEEK BY WEEK, WEEK 13

What is happening with your baby:
Fingerprints have now formed on your baby's little fingertips.  The veins and organs can be clearly seen through her thin delicate skin.  Her body is beginning to catch up to her head - which now makes up about 1/3 of her body size.  If you are having a girl, she now has more than two million eggs in her ovaries.  Your baby is almost three inches long and weighs almost an ounce.

What is happening with you/your body:
This is the last week of your first trimester!  Yay!  Your risk of miscarriage is now much lower than earlier in your pregnancy.  Many women, who experience many of the 1st trimester discomforts (such as nausea and fatigue), are now beginning to see those symptoms subside.  Many couples notice a very noticeable libido lift during this time.  Birth is still months away, however, you breasts may be already producing colostrum.  Colostrum is the nutrient rich fluid that feeds your baby for the first few days after birth, before your milk "comes in", or starts to flow.
