14 weeks pregnant

The hair protects the fragile skin and helps keep me warm. My joints are developed and I can bend and stretch my legs, arms, fingers and toes. My eyebrows emerge and the hair on my head is on the up.

I can make swallowing gestures and I am practising the movements of breathing; my nervous system has also started to work. I'm getting stronger with every day that passes and my movements are less jerky. In the intestines, I now produce meconium, which is waste that will be my first stool after birth.
