WEEK- 12 of Pregnancy

Intro:
Welcome to week 12 of pregnancy! I’m Dr. Heal, and today we’ll dive into the changes happening inside your body during the twelfth week of pregnancy.

Key Information:   
By now, your baby’s body systems are almost fully developed- from their organs, to bones, muscles, and even their digestive system! They can now open and close their fingers, curl their toes, and move using their reflexes. Baby’s face is also starting to take shape, with a defined nose and chin. Exciting times ahead as they enter the growth and maturation stage!
At 12 weeks, morning sickness and fatigue may ease, but headaches and dizziness might take their place. If you see clear discharge from your vagina is normal, but any yellow, green, or brown discharge should be reported to your doctor. Spotting can also happen due to a sensitive cervix, but again if you observe some heavy bleeding or cramping then pay a visit to your doctor immediately.

Conclusion:
Here’s a tip- comfy bras and ice packs do an incredible job to soothe your sore breasts. Ditch the junk food and think about adding balanced wholesome food and safe exercises to your routine! If you have questions or need advice, Apollo doctors and our supportive community are always here for you. You’ve got this supermom!
