"You're halfway there! The top of your uterus (womb) now reaches your belly button and will grow about a centimetre a week. Your baby measures about 14.2cm long from crown to rump and weighs about 240g. She is swallowing amniotic fluid, and her kidneys continue to make urine. Hair on her scalp is sprouting too.
Sensory development reaches its peak this week. The nerve cells serving each of the senses – taste, smell, hearing, seeing, and touch – are developing in their specialised areas of the brain.
Nerve cell production slows down as existing nerve cells grow larger and make more complex connections. If you're carrying a baby girl, she already has roughly six million eggs in her ovaries. By the time she's born, she'll have about a million.
You may have felt the kicking and somersaulting of your growing baby. At times, you might find that she is so mobile that you can't sleep. The next 10 weeks or so will be your baby's busiest and most active time, until the uterus gets too crowded. Two will soon be three and that will mean lots of changes, so have a look at our sex and relationships section."
I haven't felt anything yet, or if I have I thought it was wind lol.
Not sure but I think my boobies leaked a bit the other night, couldn't find where it was coming from and I was half asleep at the time hehe. I have put on about 7lbs so far although it feels a lot more than that, my tummy feels huge :)
Can't wait till my next scan, want it now! :D
Update :
Read up on the leaky breast thing and yes they can start to leak after about week 14 and yes it does start off clear, so I am not going mad lol.
