Week 17th

At about 5.1 inches (13 cm) from crown to rump and weighing 4.9 ounces (140 grams), the baby is still very tiny. The placenta, which nourishes the fetus with nutrients and oxygen and removes wastes, is growing to accommodate the baby. It now contains thousands of blood vessels that bring nutrients and oxygen from my body to the baby's developing body. (Midiendo aproximadamente 5.1 pulgadas de pies a cabeza y pesando 4.9 onzas, el bebe es todavía muy pequeño. La placenta, la cual nutre el feto con nutrientes y oxigeno y remueve desechos, esta creciendo para acomodar el bebe. Contiene millones de vasos capilares que traen nutrientes y oxigeno de mi cuerpo al cuerpo en desarrollo del bebe).

The baby now weighs about 3.9 ounces (110 grams) and measures about 4.7 inches (12 cm) in length from crown to rump. The baby can hold his or her head erect, and the development of facial muscles allows for a variety of expressions, such as frowning.

Week 15th

The baby’s skin has been continuously developing, and it is so thin and translucent that you can see the blood vessels through it. Hair growth continues on the eyebrows and the head. The baby's ears are almost in position now, although they are still set a bit low on the head. Internally, the baby's skeletal system continues to develop. Muscle development continues too, and the baby is probably making lots of movements with his or her head, mouth, arms, hands, legs, and feet. (La piel del bebe ha estado continuamente desarollandose y es tan delgada y transparente que podemos ver sus vasos sanguineos. El crecimiento de pelo continua en sus cejas y la cabeza. Internamente, el eskeleto continua desarrollandose. El desarrollamiento de sus musculos contiua tambien. El bebe probablemente estara haciendo muchos movimientos con su cabeza, boca, brazos, manos, piernas, y pies).

Week 14th

By this week, some fine hairs have developed on the baby’s face. This soft colorless hair will eventually cover most of the baby’s body. By now, the baby’s genitals have fully developed, though they may still be difficult to detect on an ultrasound examination. The baby now weighs about 1.6 ounces (45 grams) and is about 3.5 inches (9 cm) long. (En esta semana, algunos cabellos finos han crecido en la cara del bebe. Este suave cabello eventualmente cubrira la mayor parte de su cuerpo. Para ahora, los genitales se han desarrollado completamente, pero aun seran dificiles de identificar en un ultrasonido. El bebe ahora pesa aproximadamente 1.6 onzas y mide 3.5 pulgadas de largo).

Week 13th

As I begin the second trimester of pregnancy, the placenta has developed and is providing the baby with oxygen, nutrients, and waste disposal. The placenta also produces the hormones progesterone and estrogen, which help to maintain the pregnancy. By now, the baby's eyelids have fused together to protect the eyes as they develop. The baby may also be able to put a thumb in his or her mouth this week, although the sucking muscles aren't completely developed yet. (Al comienzo del segundo trimestre, la placenta se ha desarrollado y esta proveyendo al bebe con oxigeno, nutrientes, y también funciona como una bolsa de basura. La placenta también produce las hormonas de progesterona y de estrógeno, las cuales ayudan a mantener el embarazo. Por ahora los parpados del bebe se han fundido juntos para proteger los ojos en su desarrollo. El bebe también puede colocarse un dedo en su boca durante esta semana, aunque todavía sus músculos para chupar no estén completamente desarrollados).
