Here's what development is going on at 12 weeks:
"Your baby is still a bobble-head, as their massive noggin' comprises 30% of their entire body mass!
Bobblehead aside, your little lollipop's neck is up to the challenge and straightening out quite nicely as can be seen by their little chin lifting off of the chest. Your baby is also actively rehearsing “breathing” by inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid to prepare the lungs for future air respiration.
The big news: your little poop-n-pee factory is now up and running! Along with all the lovely poop-n-pee talk, we thought you'd like to know that your baby now pees into their amniotic sac and then inhales it through their mouth and nose.YUCK! Not to worry, their urine is completely sterile and harmless, no matter how gross it seems."
At this point in time, I've had two prenatal appointments and the Doc says all is well!
