Top Asked Questions
Will my body change much in the third month?
You might notice a more visible belly and possibly less nausea. Breast enlargement and increased appetite are common.
Can I feel my baby move now?
Most likely not yet. Movement sensations, or "quickening," usually start between 16 and 25 weeks, but some might sense them by the end of the third month.
What major developments occur for my baby?
By month's end, all vital organs have formed. The baby begins moving, and facial features become more distinct.
What tests should I expect?
First-trimester screenings for chromosomal abnormalities, including blood tests and a nuchal translucency ultrasound, are common.
How do I manage increased appetite?
Opt for a balanced diet and small, frequent meals to manage hunger and support healthy weight gain.
