Week 13

Trimester 2

Baby's Development

Your baby is a peach.

Closing the First Chapter — Your baby's vocal cords are forming, and the intestines are settling into their permanent home inside the abdomen. Fingerprints are developing — entirely unique to this little person. The first trimester is almost behind you; you've done something remarkable.

Your Symptoms

Increased sex drive
Visible bump
